Absolutely agree with this @organicmaps are amazing

Have I my mentioned how totally awesome @organicmaps's new "Outdoors map style" is - a mode that highlights tracks and trails?! It's absolutely splendid, and amazingly accurate even for small paths (built on OSM).

By the way: #OrganicMaps is fully offline, requires no registration, has no ads, no tracking - and works very well. So it depends on donations, like the fediverse does! Use and support them if you value it

@Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps Another satisfied Organic Maps user here. Open Street Map has shockingly detailed and current data on even the most obscure places, and OM makes it very usable. Offline OSM navigation with OM has proven indispensable for bike touring and international travel in general.

What’s their revenue model? How do they keep the lights on and bits flowing?

Just installed OM to give it a spin!

@beckett @Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps It's developed by enthusiasts as a hobby, like a lot of Free Software projects are/were: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_

@organicmaps @beckett @drdirtbag @Ruth_Mottram just made my first donation!! OM has been helping me without battery drain with great pedestrian navigation experience (yes, I can use the mapped sidewalks in Milan ♥️) in the last months!!

@Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps agree Organic Maps is very good for walking and I've also used it successfully for biking when I didn't have my bike computer.
Worked well both in Devon and Austria.
I have found some small errors in what is presumably the underlying Open Street Maps where roads aren't joined and it plots a very roundabout route instead. Also some trails I wanted to use were marked private on the ground so not usable. Still can't work out how to contribute and put these right.

@marjolica @Ruth_Mottram @organicmaps check OpenStreetMap.org guidelines and edit roads there directly. You’ll help everyone!
