    HERE maps are very outdated. For example, near where I live, if I compare HERE maps with any other provider, such as OpenStreetMap, Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Mapbox, they all show a roundabout that was built more than a year ago. HERE does not.

    Would it be possible to offer the option of using OpenStreetMap for navigation instead of HERE, at least as an alternative?

        No, I understood that it has to do with the fact that OSM apparently cannot work properly with the Flutter platform on which the app is based.

          SDK comes from Here. routing part is based on Here algoritum and Here Maps. i can not believe that it will work on OSM maps.

            @Bouke-Ent, definitely not šŸ˜‰ It is a design choice. Given the available SDK's for OSM, you would need to maintain 2 separate code bases for iOS and Android. (like was done with Navigation "Previous" šŸ˜‰ )

            I know that it can take some time to get changes in, but it largely depends on local governments and general people taking the effort to submit them. If no one does, it wil take time...
