I think I bought it for some 5€ some years ago, osmand+ that is. I thought that was a bargain really. I’ve been using the fdroid one now for a long time, I wanted to donate some more money but they seemed to accept bitcoin only. I’ll have a look if that changed.
It’s slow in general, they’re not using vector maps like organic maps do. I love what OsmAnd does but it’s definitely slower to render and more sluggish to navigate than other maps on my FairPhone 5.
Yes and no. OsmAnd tends to have far more details to display — more data to display or filter out. I’m guessing that if you had a smaller rendering file (instruction for painting) along with a smaller obf (less data due to prefiltering), it’d be closer to comparable.
Edit: The link, which addresses slowness with GrapheneOS not experienced with stock ROM, seems to specifically address the (non-stock) FairPhone too.
Osmand isn’t cheap to buy and a lot of people pay for it. Where else do you think their money comes from?
Osmand is slow and too complex on my pixel 9, yet I still use it
Yeah, rendering speed is atrocious. Organic Map renders much smoother.
Have you tried the “new” OpenGL renderer? It fares much better for me. (Actually, maybe it’s the default now?)
But only on android … It’s blazingly fast on ios
The submission’s topic is the Android version, though.

Osmand rules.
Stock ROM or possibly GrapheneOS?

Yes, graphene
You enabled exploit protection compatibility mode as mentioned in the link?
Yes, exploit protection is not responsible for osmands slowness. It could impact startup, but nothing more
It’s not related to graphene. I’ve seen osmamd being snaily on other flagships as well
It’s FOSS and available free on F-Droid. Small app transactions are not paying for that staff list.
