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

@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.

@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

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.

@organicmaps

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

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

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

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

@organicmaps how did the map change after the earthquake?

@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
