What is promising, OpenStreetMap or Yandex Map Kit?

Question

Android

Hey! For one service on Android, you need a map. Service for motorists.
What do you recommend to choose?
Yandex already with traffic jams, leads on the map in real time. But somehow everything is running with them ...
OSM, for free! And I noticed that many different other map services are created on its basis, such as maps.me.
I just can’t understand how others do it on the basis of some cards, what remains then !?
And the zoom sucks at OSM.

Answer 1

There are various rasterizer programs. Which turn the database into a set of pictures - maps. The data can be colored like this maps.sputnik.ru or like this openstreetmap.org or like this osrm.at or even like this demo.f4map.com/#lat=55.7529987&lon=37.6267621&zoom=18.
As you can see, there are many more possibilities with OSM!

Answer 2

Where is the "crappy" zoom in OSM?
There are also vector tiles from the mapbox .
Up to 50,000 users/views can use their servers for free:

Everything is prepared for integration with mobile platforms.

Answer 3

As a database with information for motorists (geometry and quality of roads, road obstacles, etc.), OSM is better, of course.
I did not understand the question. Can you please rephrase?
Show an example.
OSM is a database, it can't have good or bad zoom. It has no zoom at all, because the data is stored in vector form. A tile layer (a set of square images, roughly speaking) that is rendered from OSM data can have zoom. And indeed, there are layers with bad zoom. And eat with good.

Answer 4

OSM - database? Where does the card come from then?
