tangram-es VS qwantmaps

Another huge problem is the platform view. It's slow and laggy. I've been trying to integrate Tangram ES and display it through Texture widget (with gestures connected via FFI), and it works much better (almost perfect), but still too difficult to maintain it properly... Hopefully Google Maps can be implemented in a similar way

I found https://www.qwant.com/maps pretty decent and comparable to Google Maps, especially for the ease to switch between pedestrian/biking/car directions. They don't have an app though.

Organic Maps OsmAnd Qwant Maps

You could try Qwant Maps for online and as application Organic Maps.

https://www.qwant.com/maps nice front-end. https://openstreetmap.org The boring techy website. https://www.where2.cash Simple web-app for BCH merchants.

It is a reduced version of Apple Maps, so only looking and navigation, unfortunatelly. I'd recommend Qwant Maps for that.

If you go to "edit" mode on the openstreetmap.org website, you'll see aerial/satellite imagery too, licensed for free from bing and others. AFAIK, that license is only for editors, thus they can't have it on the main website (and that wouldn't be a showcase of OSM data anyway).

I agree it's a bit of a shame that the openstreetmap.org doesn't do a better job of showcasing the wealth of data, and it could be more user friendly. There are a lot of other websites that provide the same data, represented differently. https://osmand.net/map for instance. https://www.qwant.com/maps has vector maps and is quite good too!
