  • It sea4ches in different languages, but there is no way to force language of the results. Instead, ot tries to be “smart” and uses languages of the region. So it has the same problem Google and Bing does: giving you results in random languages outside of language region (or in multi-lingual regions), even when request is explicitly in language A.

    There is a feature request to implement this setting, but not much hope to have this soon.

    On this note, if someone knows of a search engine that allows specifying language of results, please let me know :)













  • A few years ago OSMAnd for iOS was much more limited than Android version. Not sure how it is today though. If that’s still the case, could be just features are limited and app does less work.

    Or it could be fast Apple processors, better rendering API or anything else.

    Screenshot from OSMAnd on Pixel 7P for illustration

    On the screenshot you see: vector offline map, 3d hill shadows, height countour lines, 3d view, many route layers, navigation and POIs rendered.
