Ein Update ☝️

sehr sehr gut.

@ojensen #LocusMaps Classic will give routes for cars (I have only used it for #walking and #cycling so can't comment on how good it is for #cars)
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus.pro

Comparison of the three mentioned above:
1) #LocusMaps: Tons of information, POIs, paths, terrain details
2) #MapyCZ: Same and maybe even a bit easier to read
3) #GoogleMaps: Well ... cra*p ...

One contradiction: Please ditch #GoogleMaps for outdoor navigation. Why? You'd want a tool that:

- Has *actual* outdoor maps showing terrain, cliffs, tiny paths, etc.
- Is built offline first (mapping, navigation)
- Can store/display your routes, points of interest, etc.
- Can work reliably in airplane mode

My recommendation?
1) #LocusMaps - The Swiss army knife of maps: https://www.locusmap.app/
2) #MapyCZ - What Google Maps should have been: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.seznam.mapy

@regines_radsalon
#Brouter ist ne coole Sache. Was das routing angeht gut anpassbar (bzw. mit reichlich Voreinstellungen versehen) und lässt sich in mehreren Apps einbinden, z.B. #OruxMaps, #osmand, #LocusMaps ...

@mt #LocusMaps hat auch allerhand #Zeugs verbaut

We ran an informal poll of #OpenStreetMap people on several #Telegram channels to determine their **primary** navigation/mapping app that consumes OSM data. It's very likely that some people are using multiple apps, but the poll only asked them to choose one.

Impossible to mention all apps that but the popular apps were:
* OsmAnd 58% - both official and the #FDroid version
* Maps.Me 35% - including the fork on #FDroid called "Maps"
and a sprinkling of votes for #MagicEarth, #Mapy #LocusMaps
