Organic Maps or OSM-based maps in general are great, but for routing nothing can replace Google Maps (or Waze) here yet, because they are the only ones with actual, near real-time traffic data.

And here in Belgium, your 100 km trip could take anywhere between 50 minutes and 2 hours depending on whether there's traffic in the Kennedytunnel or an accident in Nazareth. It's crucial for me to check traffic before I leave, so if there's a one-hour traffic jam I can just do whatever else for an hour before leaving.

And I haven't found a way to check that without Google Maps yet. But I use OsmAnd if I'm not taking the highway.
