I use local models to explore, hosted models to refine. I somewhat envy those who can sustain local models (q8 120b+) running as a hobby.... for me, the practical path is a better SearXNG setup and knowing my routes forward.

But my biggest gripe with using organic maps with driving is its search function. I couldnt care if it doesnt have all the online social features like google maps and come up with the police/safety warnings and restaurant ratings. I just want its seach to actually find the place I want to go.
Most of the time I try and avoid using google maps, but then I go back and try organic maps. Notice it doesnt have where i want to go listed in its search, so i google the address to plug in. I can enter in the exact address and it wont find it and then go back to google maps.
