I use OrganicMaps for viewing my own collection of my daily GPS coordinates, it's pretty handy for recalling where you were / when and not having to sell out to Google Location History to do so.

Interesting, I'm here from /all. What exactly is Organic Maps, and what's its connection to OpenStreet Maps?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Organic Maps is open source, beautiful and private. The app uses map data from Openstreetmap.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 12 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Ah right. So it's like a front-end alternative UI to OSM, basically?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, and very good one especially when it comes to cycling and walking routes - including forest trails, but I'm also using it for navigation when driving. Damn solid piece of software

[–] impolitecarry@lemmy.wtf 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly, yes. One key difference in android v/s OSMand is that organic maps' route calculation is way faster.

Holy shit, just had a look at their Google Play entry and I fucking love how highly responsive they are to their users. Definitely gonna download it and give it a go.

Sunshine, consider yourself one user closer to overtaking Reddit xD

Your welcome <3, I'm glad you're impressed with the team, those folks work hard!

Hi! Also a long time user of OSMand+ I'm going to have a look, but I have some questions for the community

Does this app work as well for all parts of the world? I'm in Europe
I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?

[–] kuerbiskernoel@feddit.org 2 points 11 hours ago

From Europe: Works perfectly for me (and why wouldn't it, it's just OSM)

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It ain't Google maps ready but for any FOSS enthusiast it is the proper choice esp once you install TTS service

It works

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 19 hours ago

I have been contributing to the osm database a lot recently so that is quickly changing.

How does it compare to Magic Earth?
