HI all,
Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.
You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread
At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started…
I’ve purchased OSMAnd on Android and I love it. But would like to try out Organic Maps.
I wonder: Is there a way to share the maps between the two? Or am I forced to keep both copies?
No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.
Yesterday I’ve seen the other thread, curiosity got the best of me so I registered in openstreetmap and in Organic Maps I’ve added a missing cafe and a restaurant in my area. Fascinating!
Is there a good user guide for osmand? Iwant to use it but it seems WAY too difficult
What are you trying to use it for? If you just need basic mapping, you might look at Organic Maps.
Shout out to Humanitarian OSM Team (www.hotosm.org/)
You can help map roads, buildings and other features for disaster zones and other areas in urgent need of accurate mapping.
Let’s get all the Free Software communities on here!
