@Skyper @organicmaps thanks, this looks like a potential winner. Runs very smooth as well!
 @jarno @organicmaps You can even contribute to @openstreetmap through it. I do it quite often to add/update restaurants, cafรฉs, medical centres... @ploum @organicmaps @peertube Organic Maps is amazing because it works fully offline. And OSM is great in general because of all the small things that are marked there. There's a single small water fountain beyond security at the Hamburg Airport, and it's tucked away on a separate floor so you'll only see it if you happen to go to one of the few gates there (I assume the shops that sell water in plastic bottles lobbied for this). But OSM has it, as well as the gates, defibrillators & more! @watmildon Being able to find individual water fountains, bike parking spots, benches, etc is one of my favourite features of @organicmaps ! I've taken to micromapping all the local parks in case it helps someone find a shady place to hang out on a hot day. :) @caos @fedibikes @ulfi @keno3003 @organicmaps wir haben gerade ne Woche Wanderurlaub im Berchtesgadener Land gemacht und ausschlieรlich organic maps benutzt, ich habe Komoot keine Sekunde vermisst. @nicemicro @organicmaps thanks to all the contribution and organisers of such a useful app.

@organicmaps what's the best channel to keep updated and be able to use AndroidAuto? GPlay? F-Droid? Directly from GitHub via Obtanium? @organicmaps @organicmaps Note also that I as a user can (and do) use this map as a note-taking device: every time I find a shop that I'd like to re-visit, I make sure I have them on the map, incl opening hours and other contacts. @streetcomplete and @everydoor are great tools for this, but @organicmaps also allows doing this straight from the app! ๐ This way, every time I write some of this down for my own use, everyone can profit from it. @organicmaps note that google returned only SIX results here. Out of which one is out of business and one is a duplicate. Which leaves us with four. @organicmaps returned ~25 results, and while not all of them are strictly-speaking cafรฉs, most of them would be fine to sit down for a coffee, or have an obvious relation like having "Cafรฉ" in the name. It's insane that google even fails to find shops like "Columbus Cafรฉ" which is a french competitor to Starbucks, and which they *do* know about.

TIL that @organicmaps has a (very WIP, but still) desktop app, and so now I can produce side-by-side comparisons. Voilร the query for "cafรฉ" in #Toulon Note also how the information is shown much more explicitly on the OrganicMaps view. The google map only becomes useful to #bike / #pedestrian once you zoom all the way in. Somehow their designers seem to be afraid of contrast or sth. ๐คท I just love how #OSM is so much better, thanks to all involved! ๐ซถ @organicmaps note that google returned only SIX results here.

Organicmaps is just so damn smooth! It is a shame that OSMAnd+ is so slow and bad at loading, and has a clunky UI. OrganicMaps has way too little features for me, like custom routing, more infos, etc. @organicmaps I really like OM and I use it all the time except when it is important to have Traffic Information. Then I switch to Magic Earth. I know that it is not easy to get Traffic Information for OM, but maybe you can deal something with the Guys from Magic Earth. Maybe they are willing to help in any Way? @zverik Does the script also change IDs? What does "fix ids" mean? For readers' info, Organic Maps Editor doesn't store IDs and doesn't rely on them. Shoutout to the wonderful people of @organicmaps!! They make our trip to Berlin so easy ๐๐ฒ No tracking! No crapware! No pesticides! Enjoy another song about Organic Maps! https://organicmaps.app/news/2024-04-27/organic-maps-privacy-and-freedom-anthem-driven-by-community/

One of our users has generated a song about Organic Maps. How does it sound to you? ๐ Beneath the twinkling stars, I stroll hand in hand, ... more at https://organicmaps.app/news/2024-04-26/travel-with-organic-maps-song/  @organicmaps sometimes the lyrics are a little hard to understand, but besides this the song is awesome Fun fact about @organicmaps? It can do public transport navigation with the Beijing Subway, that Google Maps can't. The time are still very off compared to local mapping apps, but it does work and if you don't care much about having exact times for arrival, it is worth using. Oh and if you need to buy tickets, just point people to the name of the subway station on the map, they'll manage :) |
