Organic Maps

Interested in improving Organic Maps usability on mobile Linux? Maybe also on desktops (Linux, Windows, Mac)? Discuss it here: codema.in/d/pcMmEAyv/missing-t

It would be great to see a detailed comparison of the pros and cons of QT and GTK (or other alternatives) in the context of less work/more platforms being supported, considering that the current implementation is already done in QT (mostly for dev purposes), and there is an open issue with a black screen on Qt 6.7: github.com/organicmaps/organic

@organicmaps
I want to use the app even when the GPS is disrupted.

@snagburz What stops you from using the app when the GPS is disrupted?

@organicmaps That my current locarion is somewhere else on the map.

@organicmaps I dont think a GTK frontend for organic maps on Linux is needed. The existing QT front end just needs a little polish for mobile use.

@organicmaps would love to see this on plasma-mobile.

@organicmaps - There are two things I miss about OM:

1. the ability to bookmark/favourite single places a level higher (at the top of the list of lists). I would like to always have a bookmark home at hand.

2. the option to permanently set my own default zoom when running navigation. Sometimes when standing at traffic lights I check what the onward route looks like and I ‘pinch’ the screen. The automatic zooom reverts to a zoom that doesn't suit me. The ideal would be to be able to set a default zoom for several speed ranges, e.g. up to 50, 51-90 and above 90 km/h.

And one more little detail - the option to turn on showing the compass rose if the map is not facing north.

@mason 1. is planned (Home/Work at least). 2. How can the current algorithm be improved? What's wrong with it? 3. Do you mean the compass during navigation? It's planned.

@organicmaps - thx.

I think it's not a question of a faulty algorithm. When driving in the city I like to have a bigger zoom, but sometimes I ‘pinch’ the screen to see a bigger map or on the contrary a smaller piece of it. I would like to be able to set a default zoom so that the map returns to it when I start. For speeds up to 50 km/h because that is usually the limit in central European cities.
