I'm currently using OSMAnd, which is pretty powerful, but also feels a bit overloaded UI-wise - does anyone have any experience on how Organic Maps compares to it? Sounds like it could be a worthwile alternative. Especially the claim "go for a weeklong trip on a single battery charge" sounds interesting - I have the feeling that OSMAnd actually increases battery usage, because all rendering has to be done client-side, but of course it's probably possible to optimize this. Also, the free version of OSMAnd can only download a limited number of maps (split up by regions, which are sometimes a whole country, sometimes less) - I hope that the donation-based model works out and they will not be forced to do something similar.

It's less powerful, but not overloaded UI-wise.
(Where "powerful" means things like travel guides and bus lines, but also things like being able to set up different profiles with the ability to customise the icon indicating your position per profile.)
Organic Maps is way less overloaded UI-wise. It's the go-to app for basic use as far as I'm concerned. I keep OSMAnd around just in case I need something more advanced.
