I have tried ride with gps and actually prefer to use it for a lot of my route planning. However I have had problems with trying it in some locations not in the USA, even with OSM or other maps selected.

Regarding the nav function, last time i tried rwgps the screen was either on or off. One of the things I like about osmand is that you can set it up so the screen goes off after about 10 seconds then comes on before your next turn. Also osmand has no monthly subscription.

All that being said, osmand has its issues as well. It is a little difficult to set up and some of the verbiage is unconventional (in English anyway).

Overall I have found osmand to be useful mainly because:

1) Maps can be downloaded for any part of the world and they are updated periodically
2) It works without a cell signal, conserving battery power
3) The screen blanks between turns, conserving battery power
4) You can upload your own gpx routes

It's worth a try. I know that it probably isn't for everyone. There are times when it exasperates me!
