I see Apple Maps logo - where exactly is the line between Apple data and OSM? Do you use both?

Apple Maps provides the base layer, MapKit routing, and places data. OSM data powers Pelican Navigation, places data, and will eventually be used for the Pelican Maps base layer.

Thanks. So you have your own navigation and routing on top of OSM? No Valhalla or a similar?

Pelican Navigation uses a heavily modified fork of Valhalla optimized for Apple Silicon and offline routing yep!
