> For what it's worth: I like Organic Maps for being more lightweight, quicker rendering & simpler configuration than OSMand. But it (still? haven't used in a while) does lack some useful features like points of interest (supermarkets, gas stations & such).
Am I misinterpreting something? This is because of the underlying OSM data. So one should add these places to OSM so downstream apps will show the places you want, right?
Navigation apps such as OrganicMaps and OsmAnd filter OSM data, and package it in way that takes up less space.
I.e., it will omit individual trees, manholes, etc.
It also omits tags from OSM objects that it does keep.
This is all to to make it possible to fit enough maps on a phone and also there have code that can use that data (for searching and displaying)
Take for example Motorhome stopovers (I have edited at lot of those).
OsmAnd has name, opening, hours, power_supply, fees, dump_stations, toilets, showers, phone numbers, website, and a few more tags. But not water_point (although it has drinking_water which is not used much for stopovers).
OrganicMap has much fewer tags for motorhome stopovers.
