  • qwantmaps

    Central repository for Qwant Maps resources

  • Qwant has IMO a better and faster map renderer and also does routing. They are a "privacy by design" company. They also use Openstreetmap data with all the pros and cons that has.

  • Openstreetmap

    The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

  • Openstreetmap has fast route calculation. You can choose different routing algorithms (OSRM and Graphhopper). I don't know which one is better. I'd check with a few test routes against google maps.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

    🍃 Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by MapsWithMe (MapsMe) founders and our community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware. Please donate to support the development!

  • Osmand routing is painfully slow for longer routes. I recently discovered Organic Maps which is also open source. I didn't really test it yet. It has a far faster map renderer, but routing didn't seem that much faster to me.
