Thanks for the support! Someone got it right. Together with the OpenStreetMap community, supported by your donations, we will create fast and easy-to-use, privacy-focused maps for everyone. π Does anyone use OpenCollective? Is it worth collecting donations there? You can support Organic Maps development there: https://opencollective.com/organicmaps @organicmaps I haven't used it myself, but #Tusky, a good Mastodon client, uses it. The @Tusky team may have some input! ο£Ώ A hotfix update of Organic Maps for iOS is available in the AppStore. It fixes freezes when any object is selected on the map on iOS 12, 13, and 14. Do you like that beautiful place on the OpenStreetMap? https://omaps.app/04Jglxr0gS/Paleis%5Fhet%5FLoo  On this International Volunteer Day, we are sharing our gratitude to everyone who helps us to develop and maintain Organic Maps, the community-built project. Together, we can make the best OpenStreetMap-based maps for anyone on the Planet. Meet the November Organic Maps update! This release was delayed due to OpenStreetMap vandalism, and due to a longer testing of many fixes and changes prepared by our contributors.

They are only good as long as they give da money π @organicmaps Too bad Facebook's Mapillary sucks so badπ‘ Literally days to see sequences in #OpenStreetMap #OSM π‘ Checking in at SOTM EU 2023 in Antwerp. Organic Maps (OM) would not be possible without the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community. Thanks to everyone who volunteers and improves the Map! Read the full announcement here: https://organicmaps.app/news/2023-11-10/checking-in-at-sotm-eu-2023-in-antwerp/ Organic Maps en FranΓ§ais :) https://www.openstreetmap.fr/module-3-contribuer-a-openstreetmap/5/ Want to know more about OSM and the community?

  @organicmaps /me braces himself for a lot of bad takes on those numbers. For starters people need to realize that the active user numbers are dominated by newbies, 99% of which will edit once or a small handful of times and then vanish. Nothing wrong about that per se, but it does mean framing the user number as "popularity" is at best misleading.  @organicmaps Still surprised how little (by usercount) StreetComplete is to iD in our mobile-first world. For those who asked: you can support us on Patreon too: Note that Patreon takes a cut of 8% from the amount. There are other methods to donate listed on our website.  @organicmaps I believe this is the link to the other possibilities for donations/support?  @organicmaps How much of the money does @opencollective and @Liberapay keep? @organicmaps Oh well. I do like the Patreon convenience of one place to manage multiple donations but sad that their cut is so high. Wish there was a more altruistic alternative. We are looking for better UX ideas on how to tell our new users about OpenStreetMap and teach them to add/edit map data in osm.org instead of complaining to us. Please share your thoughts in this Github issue: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/5686

@organicmaps I made a street name correction to OSM and the correction was quickly picked up by both Google and Apple. So I definitely see the value with this. I could see a process of defining a type of change better (βaddβ verses βcorrectβ), and that the change is in fact something that will be seen globally and not just on our own device. Seems subtle, but a donβt think folks understand how much they can really contribute to OSM. @organicmaps one of these on every screen that might have results? (pardon my ignorance if app already does) Only a few understood the last question correctly. It was about x86 or x86_64 Android devices on Intel/AMD processorsβ¦  Maybe add a list (or link to a list) of devices? I assume that most users are neither aware, if their device is running on 86architecture, nor if it is 32bit. (but i believe most devices are 64bit amd?) @organicmaps As there are still answers coming in, maybe edit the question? E.g. add "If so" before the second question. Does anyone use Organic Maps on x86 or x86_64 Android devices? If so, do you use it from Google or FDroid? Please let us know.

 @organicmaps Iβm only familiar with Swift and SwiftUI, but I really like contributing updates to map data in my rural area. @organicmaps your project is amazing. π  @organicmaps We love Organic Maps, especially the feature to add/edit #OpenStreetMap right in the app :) What are your thoughts/plans towards integrating crowdsourced live traffic data in a #privacy-respecting way with user consent? Those are good guys trying to make adding businesses and their info into OpenStreetMap easier: https://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! If you have a Google account, please upvote our question about Android Auto implementation to get some answers from Google: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/301603467  @organicmaps If Iβm not logged in, I can see the issue. If Iβm logged in, I get βAccess is denied to this issueβ. @organicmaps Please vote for us again on HackerNews! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37592712 The referenced article provides an interesting perspective on Organic Maps: https://hardfault.life/p/organic-maps-review 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. 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! |
@organicmaps REALLY WONDERFUL!
@organicmaps
Do you plan to have a native Linux version of your app? That would be amazing!
