Those are good guys trying to make adding businesses and their info into OpenStreetMap easier: osmybiz.osm.ch/ We all rely on good quality map data, let's support them and help to make the map editing process even easier and funnier!

@organicmaps If I’m not logged in, I can see the issue. If I’m logged in, I get “Access is denied to this issue”.

Please, I'm trying hard to degoogle, so I won't do this, your app works fine on e/os/ fairphone

The referenced article provides an interesting perspective on Organic Maps: hardfault.life/p/organic-maps-

Note that the issue mentioned in the article was caused by the incorrect OSM maps data tags, and it should be fixed in the upcoming Organic Maps update.

Hi folks, is meanwhile the track-recording-feature in sight? 🙂

FYI: A critical heap overflow vulnerability has been discovered in libwebp that is being actively exploited in the wild and potentially allows for remote code execution. This affects at least all the popular browsers and Electron-based apps, including messengers such as Signal and Telegram, and additionally LibreOffice. Organic Maps is not affected.

@organicmaps I don't think Telegram has an official Electron-based app. However at least their QT desktop app is probably affected since it uses #libwebp.

@organicmaps Well.. As I used to say many times before, webp as lots of google "invented" products/things is a modern internet day cancer. No "fixing" can change that. Avoid the crap if you can!

Raise your voice if you are not happy with Android 13 restricting access to the Downloads folder: issuetracker.google.com/issues

Max

@organicmaps Hmm so right now any app can access any file in the downloads folder?

Like, pdfs of payslips or whatever?

Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)

@organicmaps You can delete "to the Downloads folder".

I shouldn't have to rely on someone's exploit to give me administrative access to a personal computer I purchased outright with my own money.

Thank you for your support! Our beloved users and contributors, you are awesome! news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

@organicmaps Very happy to see it on HN today! Especially with several comments saying they just discovered it. Organic Maps deserved more fame :)

@organicmaps It is a nice and relatively easy to use map application, but I do have my share of criticism.
Mainly, the routing is basically always worse than what any option on osm.org provides. I don't know why.
In some ways the UX could be better as well, but that holds true for any map app I have tried.

Still, it is the first app I try for my routing needs, usually followed by OsmAnd~.

@organicmaps I approve of this, I like privacy-centric open source international payment solutions that can't be controlled by arbitrary large corporations with hidden agendas.

А ты не знаешь, есть ли какой-нибудь плагин, чтобы эти карты пробки показывали? Или это противоречит сущности этих карт?

@organicmaps Thanks for this video! Roman seems to be a really nice guy. Its great to get to know the people behind open source projects and listen to the history behind them, how they are managed/maintained and where they are going. Its also nice to hear direct from the co-founder this will always stay open source and ad-free! 100% recommend others boost this video and of course donate if you can.

Organic Maps

It was a busy time for our team and contributors. We prepared a new app and map data update for you. Also, this year, Organic Maps got 4 slots in the Google Summer of Code 2023 program. We hope that our students will manage to finish their tasks this year and make Organic Maps better.

Really looking forward to "4) Better map styling system to support Outdoor, Cycling, Driving, Tourism, and other custom layers."

Something i really learned to value and miss in OM during traveling, as the Mapy.cz implementation helped me to discover beautiful hiking and cycling tracks around while traveling.

@organicmaps awesome work as always :D
curious to see what GSoC will bring!

Tommi 🤯

@organicmaps It is great news, but actually I am a bit sad and disappointed that better bookmarks handling, one of the most requested features, is not going to be prioritized for #OrganicMaps#GSoC2023

Our new Organic Maps version is out! Android users can test the experimental lanes suggestion while driving. Navigation directions should now display correctly on iPads. Check out the full list of improvements: organicmaps.app/news/

Very nice, thanks for your efforts!

When should we expect it to drop in #fdroid ?

The new lanes suggestion feature is awesome!

Does it work on e/os (Android ss Google) because I can not have voice guidance. Yet installed on the phone. Thank you

We have some great news to share – our project has been awarded a microgrant from FUTO! This grant will help us continue improving and growing the app. Receiving grant from an independent lab and grant fund also means that our vision of what a good and reliable map service should be is shared, valued and supported. More details: youtube.com/watch?v=fJJclgBHrE

Youtube video description:

If you want to learn more about FUTO, feel free to check out our website: https://futo.org/

The purpose of these microgrants is to give money to open source projects that we use and love in order to encourage others to do the same. We need to financially support good tech that doesn't screw with us.

We gave microgrants to Organic Maps, Synchthing, and VLC.

We also wanted to celebrate the success of Gitlab and Zulip, so we bought subscriptions to them in order to encourage others to pay for good software.

Projects championed in this video:

Gitlab - https://about.gitlab.com/
Zulip - https://zulip.com/
VLC - https://www.videolan.org/
Syncthing - https://syncthing.net/

@organicmaps

That's fantastic! Very happy you got the grant as I use and love #OrganicMaps daily.

I'd love to boost this, but can't on principal as the screenshot has no alt text. That the toot relies on people understanding the text in the screenshot, so you're really shooting yourself in the foot here, locking out people with #accessibility needs.

#NoAltTextNoBoost

Anyway, thank you for making a great #FOSS app and congrats on the grant!

#OpenStreetMap and Organic maps helped Dr Bilgehan Çevik, a turkish doctor, get to the damaged areas in first hours after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. His message to the mappers: “Thank you all, you are doing really great work”. openstreetmap.org/user/pedrito

Organic Maps

Our recent 2023.02.13 release, which includes the updated map data for Turkey and Syria, is out. We appreciate everyone who has ever contributed to the OpenStreetMap. See the detailed list of changes and improvements on our website: organicmaps.app/news/2023-02-1

Devil :verified:

@organicmaps how did the map change after the earthquake?

newsorpigal

@organicmaps

Thank you for the quick update, this will help relief workers!

rzeczyspisane :troll_face:

@organicmaps is there a possibility that there will be support for updating maps without updating the app itself? F-droid builds come always with 2 to 3 weeks worth of delay, but i guess if maps are not essential part of the app then they would be up to date even if the organic maps app isn't in the repository

Organic Maps

We are excited to announce our first update of 2023. Continue exploring the world with our maps and share with us any ideas regarding future updates. See the detailed list of changes and improvements on our website: organicmaps.app/news/2023-01-2
