I use organic maps: https://f-droid.org/packages/app.organicmaps

I recommend switching over to Comaps. Community members raised concerns about transparency & governance with shareholders of Organic Maps. Community members have since left & forked it https://www.comaps.app/about-us/

Im trying to get onboard with CoMaps but its Android Auto implementation needs work. It's too zoomed in to be useful at speed or in traffic, and the directions are wonky with street mergers, highway changes, etc.

I think I can contribute to the directions but not easily while driving. I'm not a coder so I can't write up a zoom setting function for submission.

Any tips for CoMaps in the car?
