It seems Like it doesnt work without gapps. I am in LineageOS without gapps, so Organic Maps wins.
EDIT: It works without Gapps. Tested it again today and it worked.

well ok
Crowd sourced is the worst. When ease was new and was crowd sourced it would always have me make a right onto a side street, take an immediate left and then another right to continue on the same street I was already on.
I really hope that isn’t what they mean my crowd sourced.
I've seen that happen in both Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps...
But the nice thing about something crowdsourced like OpenStreetMaps, is that I can just hop on their editor and fix the street that is broken.
Would not addition people that continue to do the same thing override your fix?
When a piece of road is properly connected, there's very little reason for others to go and disconnect it again.
There's also an approval system, so changes made has to be reviewed by others, and you have comments to explain why and what you did.
Disconnected roads like the one OP mentions happens by accident, not by intention.
All the fixes I have put into OpenStreetMaps has stayed there.
Thanks for the detailed explanation as I was really curious.

It's a good choice if using GrapheneOS. I had used OsmAnd+ before and was surprised when it had no voice for navigation because Graphene has no TTS service by default and the options I found were not great. Honestly TTS was one of the few things I missed from stock Android.
Android Auto won't work either, but my car is just a little too old for that, so no loss for me.
How to make voice navigation works on magic earth with graphene os? I tinkered a bit and wasnt able to make it work
I have GrapheneOS and recently tested Magic Earth and Organic Maps, in my rural area around town. For me, MagicEarth audio worked fine, but Organic Maps was mute..
Magic Earth found specific street addresses better than Organic Maps/OSM, but couldn't list street names, just like OSM.
AFAIK, this is because Graphene prevents the downloading of the Google voice modules that have access to local street names. I could be wrong on this.
TLDR; You can't. GrapheneOS prevents it because Google owns the voice modules including the specific street names and most privacy invading maps software tracks your location in order to vocalize the basic naviation and street names.
Not available (currently) in Canada.
Sad, I was excited to try it out
VPN?
This might be Europe only. Blocked in US App Store
Edit: this is likely the case…at least for now. Screenshots on website are European

well ok
Wow. Major fail-and-uninstall for me: There's a repertory movie theatre across town I visit once a month and always use Google maps for traffic and routing advice. Magic Earth couldn't find it.
Follow-up after using Magic Earth to navigate to an intersection up in the local hills: It worked, but I didn't like that it wasn't indicating street names in the read-aloud directions--just "turn left, turn right". That might be a must-have feature for me.
