It’s essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.
I’ve been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn’t instantly find.
In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they’re all gold though, god damn)
An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you’re on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.
Byeeee
Idk … In their description on f-droid they crossed out “no pesticides” and wrote “purely organic” … It implies they are using organic pesticides. Not sure if that’s something for me tbh.
Edit: screenshot added
Caffeine and nicotine are legit organic insecticides, that might be a deeper joke about coffee and cigarettes powering development
Fuck me this thread really exploded
so i opened this app for the first time just now and entered my address, but it only went to my street. when i tap my house, it just says “building”… is there no residential support?
Depends in where you live. For instance in Germany house numbers are associated with the building but in France house numbers are their own object. The Idea there being that one should map the location where the plate with the houseumber is, and not the building(s) its associated with. If you dig throug osm map forums or issue trackers you’ll find the dispute resurfacing every now and then.
It is great. But too bad for me - I live 40km away from the nearest town, in the forest of northern Sweden. So the coverage here is quite not so good. Practically all I see is the main road.
Does it do navigation with routes based on current traffic conditions? Because that’s table stakes to me.
It’ll at least give you good directions, car/bicycle/walking-optimized based on what you select.
It’ll get there, just needs time.
