I only use google maps because the goecoding is a lot and I think the routing is done on their computers which makes it a lot faster.

Plus finding good OSM apps is hard.

Maps.me, Karta, Osmand.

Hmm...

What are your objections to those?

I have bad news for you about Google products.

I really like Maps.me, however the main issue for using OSM is search. It is quite slow and it does not handle all address formats well.

I think OSM is a great data source and I always try to contribute at least the business opening hours but it deserves a better application layer on top of it.
