> It has more features but is slower and clunkier

Just to clarify: OsmAnd has more features, CoMaps and Organic Maps are much faster.

(Aside: I'm using CoMaps myself. The main missing features are tracking (I use OpenTracks for that) and public transportation (I use a website for that). End of aside.)

OsmAnd is not that much slower nowadays since they added the new OpenGL renderer. It is, however, less convenient and pretty. I think OsmAnd really shines for things like hiking, whereas for regular urban navigation CoMaps works just as well.

Wait, I just used the tracking the other day and generated a GPX from it. It also drew me an elevation map and gave me some other info about the trip. Is there some other tracking that it can't do?

CoMaps lets you record a route, though it's somewhat limited

What website do you use for public transportation?
