I've been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it's also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I've just installed Organic Maps so I'll see how that goes this week.

The commercial options guess where you are in the tunnel based on crowdsource speed outside of the tunnel in both directions. When you come out of the tunnel you don't have GPS service but they will continue to guess until they reconnect which is a rather nice feature.

I have had organic maps freak out coming out of a tunnel and just never reconnect.
