What is the best maps/navigation application to use on Jolla? [answered]

Jolla phone has native Maps application with HERE's maps.
But it's also possible to install android applications such as: Yandex.maps, OsmAnd, Navfree etc...
Third option is to use online maps: again, HERE.com etc...
What is the best option? What works better for navigation while driving a car?
EDIT: this is being closed as answered, albeit the subject can go forever. Question can still be contributed to though...
Waiting for a dev (or team of dev) to step up with an Openstreetmap based offline map app.

ortylp ( 2013-12-26 11:30:44 +0200 )edit@ortylp: IMHO not really viable. I've researched OsmAnd to see if its rendering engine could be used in modRana - unfortunately the whole application is written in the Android Java flavor, so not really portable at all.
