    How is Bolt any better than Lime or Uber?

    I’ve never heard of here we go. I’m a bit hesitant to go driving somewhere using navigation software that isn’t extremely battle tested.

      I’d recommend Osmand, that’s what I use and it’s alright for me. It’s never sent me somewhere wrong until know. Not everything is on there but then I just add the place, if I can.

      Bolt seems European I guess? Maybe a better plan would be to use the local uber alternative, like https://drivers.coop/ for NYC or https://eva.coop/ for Montréal. Three’s also https://coopcycle.org/ bût that’s for deliveries and takeaways.

        OsmAnd is great because of how customisable it is imo, however it’s very slow at plotting routes (especially while cycling, that’s essentially the only use case I have for it) and rerouting doesn’t seem to be a thing?
        I would recommend CoMaps for a much faster, but simpler, user experience.

        Curious – are you using osmand in a car?

        Yeah maybe Bolt is European. It’s also in America as a scooter company so I’d assumed they’re American
