#organicmaps — Public Fediverse posts

@gaufff yeah it's a good reminder although some of the projects I love it's impossible as they enforce to either give through Github (sorry but no way to give 20/30% of my donation at Micro$oft) or through Liberapay but restricts it at only paypal that I refuse to use too !! So no money for #fossify or #OrganicMaps !!

@xXASDFGXx Ich komme mit #OrganicMaps gut zurecht... Du suchst dir einen Punkt, wo du hinmöchtest, gibst Haltepunkte ein und planst als Fahrradfahrer... dann zeigt er dir Strecke und Höhenmeter/-profil an... Vielleicht hilft das?

@CoMaps Given the comments in the issues, I'm all the more surprised that this essential feature hasn't been implemented long ago—neither in #OrganicMaps nor in #CoMaps. Too bad.

@davidrebomaga O estilo minimalista e sobrio ten un sentido, que é o de alonxarse da estética de máquina tragaperras e ser, portanto, menos adictivo 😅 Pero sí, podes pór a imaxe de fondo que tu queras, e tamén cambiar os icones.
Whatsapp e Telegram instálalos e funcionan sen problemas. Para Google Maps terás que instalar os Sandboxed GMS, pero tamén é posíbel. Así e todo, tes probado #OrganicMaps ou #OsmAnd?

Hey Leute, schöne Grüße aus Schweden. Eigentlich bin ich schon im Urlaub, aber hier noch ein Hinweis: Für den @ct_Magazin Newsletter #OpenSourceSpotlight habe ich @CoMaps vorgestellt und dazu @gedankenstuecke interviewt.

Ihr bekommt die aktuelle Ausgabe zu CoMaps zugeschick, wenn ihr den Newsletter hier abonniert:

Ich probiere jetzt CoMaps nochmal intensiver in der schwedischen Pampa aus 😁

#Navi #GNSS software update - in the end I stuck with #TomTom Go (the paid one), although I did like #OsmAnd and had the paid version its way slower to pick up your vehicle speed from GNSS than TomTom and lacks real time #trafficinfo - whilst #OrganicMaps and #CoMaps still seem to be arguing about how to implement speed display on #AndroidAuto

#TomTom app behaves pretty much exactly like my old standalone navi, its a familiar, usable #UI and has accurate real time speed display plus 3 warning beeps the moment you go over the limit (which is often main reason I want this software, especially in familiar areas where I can navigate without the GNSS (as I grew up having to do this when younger!)

#OrganicMaps

Vahingossa tehty empiirinen testi: löytääkö #organicMaps perille, vaikka graafinen UI hyytyy? Vastaus: kyllä muuten löytää!

Viimeisimmällä Hesan reissulla oltiin menossa Messukeskuksesta Verkkokauppa.comin myynälään Länsisatamassa, eli kaupungin halki. Mapsin reittikuva jähmettyi, mutta itse gps ohjeineen pysyi päällä. Ajettiin onnellisesti perille halki tietöden pelkän ääniohjauksen avulla :catjam:

#sealife :een myöhemmin mennessä tosin käyettiin mapsia ihan tavalliseen tyyliin 😃

Coucou @organicmaps
Est il est possible de modifier le calcul du trajet? Il semble que ça se fasse au plus court et, quelques fois, j'aimerais connaître le trajet le plus rapide.
Merci
[eng] "Translate" by myself, sorry 😁
Is it possible to change the way the app gives the road to take. It's seems to be the shortest but sometimes, I'd like to know the fastest. Thank's 😉

@JDersvenheisst @mfuhrmann Anders als bspw. OrganicMaps fehlt CoMaps hierfür noch der passende Kartenstil „Wanderrouten“, in dem die Wegeart /-beschaffenheit stärker grafisch differenziert wird.

#organicMaps #CoMaps

Question for keen #CoMaps users: Is there any way / plan to implement hill shading? I really struggle reading any outdoor map without it. I know how to enable/disable contour lines, but that’s even not remotely enough.

#FDroid #OpenStreetMap #Android #OrganicMaps

It's been a year since #CoMaps released, and I still have no idea whether it or #OrganicMaps is better. Both are open source, offline-first, and privacy respecting, although CoMaps seems to have made some claims that Organic Maps isn't, but I can't find indpendent evidence showing that is correct. Allegedly CoMaps added some new features, but I don't know if those features matter at all for my use, or if Organic Maps has merged them as well by now. Is there any meaningful difference between the two apps now? My biggest concern with using either of them is that the development of one might just stop and make me need to manually move all my data. As I understand it, this isn't a Glimpse situation (fork of GIMP made primarily to change the name that quickly lost steam and shut down in two years) or a PolyMC situation (maintainer went on a power trip and all the other developers and users fled, leaving the original project in a zombie state). So will the two projects continue to exist parallel to each other, meging changes from each other? Or will they diverge at some point? For that matters is it on Organic Maps or CoMaps that most development happens first? I don't expect an answer from anyone (much as it would be nice to get one); I'm just shouting into the void because nobody seems to be discussing this anywhere searchable.

Ah, behold the magical world of "Organic Maps," where offline navigation is the future we never asked for. 🌍✨ Now you can wander into the wilderness, blissfully unaware of your location, all while supporting your chosen GitHub cause! Because who needs Google Maps when you can get lost in 10 different languages? 🤷‍♂️📍

Moin #Bike oder #wanderbubble habt Ihr einen Tipp für eine #OSM basierte #Karten-app, die folgende Funktionalitäten mitbringt. Zur Zeit nutze ich @organicmaps (davor: #OSMscout), aber beide leisten dies soweit ich das bisher erfahren habe eider nicht (prove me wrong):

▶️ Anzeige der Geschwindigkeit auch ohne Routing (finde es umständlich, bei einer kleinen und bekannten Radrunde immer irgendein fiktives Ziel oder gar Wegpunkte einzugeben, nur um die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit angezeigt zu bekommen)
▶️ Auswahl mehrerer Routenvorschläge im Routing
▶️ Bei/nach Routenaufzeichnung Anzeige Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit (mit/ohne Standzeiten) und gerne auch Export dieser Daten (OSMscout ist hier besser als #organicMaps

@photorat I’ve been using #AllTrails for several years and have been increasingly annoyed by their monetization efforts. Most recently the plant ID upsell would happen during hikes (a setting turns that off) and every time you open the app (complained via chat, then it stopped). I value it most for trail discovery and recent reviews.

#Comaps or #OrganicMaps are great for finding driving directions whether you have coverage or not. These are commonly used to get me to and from trails.

@vegantacos Thanks again for coming out and listening. And I enjoyed talking #freesoftware stuff on my break.

Yes, I'll be playing again 12-2pm on August 12 (2026) at 125 Summer St. Boston, 02111.

В бета версию #OrganicMaps завезли построение маршрутов автобусов с пересадками метро, а так же развернутый список остановок и слой спутниковых снимков :heart_fire:

I like #OrganicMaps a lot, but there are a few probs I can't solve.

If I record then save a Track, then want to follow it later… how do I do that, short of just watching the map and staying on the trail?

It offers a "Route To" and "Route From", but when I tried one of those it just launched into turn-by-turn directions along some other calculated (and terrible) route. I also couldn't get out of that mode.

Any tips for
1) follow a stored track
2) exit directions mode

Heute beim Radfahren mal testweise mit #OrganicMaps navigiert und die App für gut befunden.
- basiert auf Daten von #OpenStreetMap
- läuft offline
- funktioniert auch auf einem älteren Smartphone super
