Agreed. I can’t believe how it’s better than any other hiking app (particularly free ones but I tried some non free ones too), but it is.

For me the winning feature is the UX around dropping a pin and routing to it via trails just works and is very easy, and includes elevation gain etc. Too many hiking apps require you to navigate along fixed trails in their hike database.

I just tried it, and I feel like OsmAnd has a more detailed preview of the hiking route: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roMNNJPHDvc , unless I'm missing something in Organic Maps..
