#puremaps — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow start a trip in to the north of Portugal to meet up with folks for a 4 day, 170KM #bike trip called #pedalanças, from the town #Espinho to the Dance/music festival #tradidanças, \o/

https://cicloficina.pt/pedalancas/

Gotta pack the least amount of stuff possible.

And will also try to do the trip only using a #oneplus6 with #mobian and #phosh for maps (#gnomemaps or #puremaps or something else), #gps and #gpx tracks and pictures.

We will see how that part goes :)

First time navigating with #postmarketOS on the #PinePhone using #PureMaps today. First impressions weren't very good as navigation kept failing due to that my origin was set to somewhere the phone couldn't navigate from and it was a bit non-obvious how to fix this. Once that was fixed the rest was surprisingly smooth sailing! Sometimes Pure Maps would think I went off the assigned route when I was just moving forward on the correct street with my bike but that could be the PinePhone's fault.

@opensourceopenmind

I also confirm that I can totally navigate by using #PureMaps on my #Librem5.

Btw, did you notice that the volume of the turning instructions in PureMaps is pretty low? Actually too low to hear well for me. Way lower than the volume of other apps.

@dos

@dos I can testify to this. Camera with #Millipixels and GPS turn-by-turn navigation with #Puremaps are both significantly improved. In fact, I just drove to a new suburb for the frst time without needing my degoogled Android. Previously I was using #postmarketOS on this #Librem5. Thanks.

@laumapret

You can use Android apps with #Wayland on the #Librem5. But personally, I have no experience with Wayland.

For navigation (#openstreetmap based), I use #PureMaps (https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.rinigus.PureMaps) and just looking at GNOME maps (https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Maps).

Indeed, it is like using whatever could run on the #Linux desktop. Ideally, adaptive applications:

https://flathub.org/en/apps/collection/mobile/1

Does anyone know of the general development of #navigation software for #mobile #Linux devices like the #Librem5 ?
#PureMaps somehow runs, but it is not a great experience performance wise and the development is not super active anymore. I saw a discussion once that #OrganicMaps also tries to make a mobile Linux version, but I can't find any update there either. Are there any plans for #GnomeMaps to add navigation features?

It might be just me, but at some point in the last 1-2 years, all the #KDE apps I use on my #Librem5 got noticeably slower. This includes #PureMaps and #KDEItinerary. It feels like some sort of graphics acceleration shenanigans: Map scrolling in PureMaps used to be smooth, and now is almost unusably laggy. Even just scrolling up and down an itinerary or pushing a button is slower than a comparable GTK app (Tuba, Gnome Maps, etc...).

Oh great and powerful hive mind: How might I seek out incantations that could fix this?

#AskFedi

Today I tested navigation on #OnePlus6t with #postmarketOS and #PureMaps.

The start wasn't promising. It took about 2 minutes for the device to pinpoint my location via GPS.

After that slow start, it was smooth sailing. GPS tracking was very precise and comparable to OsmAnd. Although while stationary the GPS isn't the most accurate, I can confirm that once moving, navigation works perfectly.

@peja Great! I recently did a navigation test with #PureMaps on my #Librem5 as well.

I confirm that it worked very well.

Todavía me preguntaba por qué la navegación no me funcionaba (PineTime + Amazfish en #UBports). Al final, resultó ser AppArmor en Pure Maps (ahora hay una versión sin restricciones de la aplicación en la tienda). La navegación debe estar habilitada en la configuración de #Amazfish, y los recursos (imágenes de navegación) deben cargarse en #PineTime.

@utopify_org @opensourceopenmind

I use a #Librem5 as my daily phone:

- Full device disk encryption with #LUKS
- #PureMaps for navigation. GNOME Maps for looking, searching on a map. Both #OpenStreetMap based.
- WiFi just works
- In the past I used Mullvad VPN, but recently not tested any more.
- Synchronization via ssh/scp. I could very probably also use Nextcloud client, but did not test that.
- Signal Desktop
- #Fractal for #Matrix
- I use vim (mostly over ssh)

@opensourceopenmind @utopify_org @organicmaps

I tested my #Librem 5 running #Crimson #PureOS the last days with #PureMaps turn by turn navigation in the car.

Note that due to a bug (for which a fix is in the pipeline) I had to enable manually gnss-share first:

sudo systemctl status gnss-share.service

After that PureMaps worked flawlessly for navigation up to speeds of 130 km/h.

Unfortunately, the voice instruction volume is a little to low for me though.

@peja

IIRC, due to how GPS works, it is actually more stable when moving then stationary. I note the same thing when I use #PureMaps or GPS in general on my Oneplus6, it can be off while stationary, but when I move, it gets much more stable.

Took the car for a longer drive today and figured it was the perfect chance to test navigation on my #linuxphone . Тhe road is really winding, so it's easy to see if the position tracking is accurate. I wasn’t expecting much since, when I’m stationary, all apps seem to drift by about 100 meters. To my surprise #PureMaps was just as precise as OsmAnd on Android, which I kept running side-by-side for comparison.
So, on #pixel3a with #postmarketos GPS works perfectly when you’re on the move.

@dos After getting incorrect location throughout the day (due to bad weather?), I finally tried your #aGPS script on #postmarketOS 25.06 (after installing #coreutils), and it appeared to work!

Planning to do more extensive testing in the coming few weeks. Thanks : )

Currently using #PureMaps for navigation mainly and #GnomeMaps occasionally.

@Sxan I'm not in the US, but #Librem5 works with carrier T-Mobile and Purism's Awesim according to their wiki and forums.

I'm daily driving Librem 5 with #postmarketOS (stable - phosh) and everything critical for my use case works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid both now since #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, basic camera, GPS navigation using #PureMaps, latest apps from #Flathub, web browsing using Firefox-ESR, e2ee messaging and calling using Signal Desktop, DeltaChat, Matrix, XMPP, etc. and of course my most used feature, the headphone jack!

What does not work is recording sound in videos, although recording sound itself using Sound Recorder works, just not in videos.

Correctin: Recording sound in videos does work on L5 both on pmOS and PureOS.

@ati1 @linmob Depends what the user wants from a personal device, how they use it and what their priorities are. If someone's priorities are a modern camera, running proprietary Android apps and their money is held hostage by banks requiring #Duopoly apps, they should check back later, perhaps when the Librem 5 "Fir" model is released.

On the other hand, if #FreeSoftware, #privacy, #modularity, #repairability, #ecofriendliness, #decentralisation, #digitalindependence, etc. are valued above other things, the Librem 5 and the higher-spec model, the #LibertyPhone, can absolutely work in 2025 and beyond.

I am daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything important to me works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid them due to #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, camera with OK quality photos (see: #ShotOnLibrem5), GPS with #PureMaps, web browsing with #FirefoxESR, web apps (including banking) using #GNOMEWeb and #BraveBrowser, email using #Geary and #DeltaChat, audio calls on #SignalMessenger, #Matrix ( #ElementMessenger), #XMPP ( #DinoIM), #JitsiMeet, etc.

There are occasional bugs and quirks, and the device itself has limitations but nothing that I can't work around.

Not sure if I missed anything. Let me know if you have a specific use case that you absolutely require and I'll see if I can test...

Daily driving a Pixel 3a while on a three week holiday wrap-up

Day 2...

So... I think I need to address the audio overflow issues I'be been having. Like, day one on #pmos on my pixel 3a I've seen random buffer overflow... I've just ignored it. While the device did get fairly warm... it wasn't more than my regular android phone would get, but I had two reboots happen in an 11hr drive. Given, audio has rebooted and frozen the phone in the past, I can't say navigating was the issue. Also, I #puremaps worked well... but obivously waze navigated a quicker route. There were a few questiobable decisions puremaps decided on routing... like getting off a highway for an exit and getting back on... While I relied on waze, puremaps would have gotten me there... reboots aside. But yes, otherwise I had #qutebrowser monotoring my work communiques. I was streaming a twitch stream (shout out to #theunexpectables) for a good chunk too... which was a little much...should have done audio only

Day 1 of daily driving my #pixel 3a with #postmarketos #sxmo on my trip

I'm not sure how I'm going to document all this... but I'm planning on using #puremaps (#osmin as back up) otherwise using a bunch of #tui apps. I wish I had tethering workinf but I think I have everthing "working"

@linuxphones @linuxphones #pmos

Do you have a recommendation for a #linux tool to navigate a heavy #truck (no "normal" car!) via #gps offline?
I tried #pureMaps but miss the adjustment for car size parameters. GPS can be provided via #geoclue or #gpsd sufficiently.

I just need map display and route planning - ideally an option which is aware of obstacles like low bridges and weight limits on particular roads and show alerts.

In case it matters: I will be on german roads.

@unplugged @askfedi What about #postmarketos with #osmin or #puremaps?

Trying to set up location services on the #pinephonepro, using satellite I can get a fix and everything looks good but using #gnomeMaps, #PureMaps or google maps through firefox, they can’t find my location.

#linuxhelp #pinephone #postmarketos

@jakob @MDradelt @mid_lsa Also Komoot hat mich letztes Jahr über ein bestelltes Feld geschickt.

Bin ich nicht so Fan von. Für #sailfishOS gibt es das grandiose #puremaps Ziemlich tolle Anwendung.
