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…
The kbin webui likes to summarize.
For example the mention @shadearg@lemmy.world simply displays as a link to https://lemmy.world/u/shadearg, completely obscuring the format of the actual mention.
I suspect that the direct community link may be transformed in a similar way.
Edit: explanation
Its /c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml for people on memmy
This works for me on liftoff, opens it through my instance. /c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
All hail OSM!!!
OSMAnd has literally saved my life when my Garmin died and my hiking buddy’s phone also died and I remembered I had saved off-line maps for the state we were in and could traveling-salesman our way out of the mountains safely.
Better how? I’ve only played around with OSMand a little but it seems very full of features and options.
That’s its strength and its weakness imo; the UI is not as clear as the Organic Maps’, and it feels relatively cluttered.
Also, Organic is both gratis and libre, while OsmAnd is subscription based on iOS. It is a one time purchase on Android though, but that still means the full app isn’t gratis.
Let’s get all the Free Software communities on here!
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.
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.
