@AbdelMadjid_Meziane when we get enough donations for a full-time working team, or when our contributors and volunteers find enough free time to implement such an important but also a complex task.  @organicmaps @AbdelMadjid_Meziane It must be a huge job. Creating something like Gmaps requires a huge infrastructure. Would you at least consider showing public transport routes based on PTv2? Osmand does something like this (https://osmand.net/blog/guideline-pt/). It would be quite cool. I've been mapping public transport in my city and this PTv2 approach is effective.  @organicmaps couldn't you work with projects like Transitous? If I'm not mistaken, this is the data that's requested, right? I understand that this does not include the data into OSM but doing so seems like a duplicating effort for already publicly available data... @silmathoron @organicmaps @AbdelMadjid_Meziane Interesting, I didn't know. I just didn't quite understand how to contribute. I found the doc very focused on those who already understand the subject and does not explain some basic things. > Does Organic Maps use it? Given how recent it is, I doubt it, but they might use something similar to provide their current transport information... @organicmaps great news! I use a lot OM for hiking in Spain, and better isolines is a great improvement. Wrt AndroidAuto: I've tried to use it with OM Feb/March, but OM does not show up in the AndroidAuto apps when I connect my phone to the car. Does it need to be enable somehow?  @severin @organicmaps Same here, but for some reason those contours seem to be offset of data: not only the path in the second image seems to weirdly take a steep turn, the torrente also seems to not quite go through the base of the valley. If it were just the torrente I would not say anything. @severin update google android auto app, restart the device, try to google about it. AA should just work.  @organicmaps great news, and I've already submitted some links to opendata DEM for Bulgaria. I was wondering though, my cartography study books indicate that the digits on the isolines are to be always oriented uphill, especially in cases like @organicmaps where there's no hillshading or any way to figure out the direction of the slope. Maybe an enhancement for a future version? Here's an example where the digits are upside down in the screenshot from your post: |
@organicmaps I really love what you do and I'm helping you all the times I can updating the maps and also using #KartaView and #StreetComplete 🤗🙏🏼🍀
My question is when you think it will be available the transports maps to use like on #googlemaps ? Since is the only why a lot of people, most of them, are not using #OrganicMaps 🙂
