Recently, Magic Lane (the company that makes the Magic Earth application) completely renewed their interface and general operation.

To use the application, you now have to pay โ‚ฌ0.99/year. Personally, I find this price more than reasonable for supporting a European alternative to Google Maps.

OpenStreetMaps is not an app, just a map. Magic Earth (and Comaps, for that matter) uses OpenStreetMaps.

Personally I never liked Magic Earth. It jumps into navigation mode too easily and I just find the interface to always do something else than I want it to. Personal preference I guess.

    Oh I see. Is it any better than osmandplus? I understand the pricing models if the support is worth it. I don't have playstore in my android though, so kind of empty question. Also, is it opensource? If yes, I could build it myself, how would the pricing work then? If not, does it comply with all the opensource licenses?
