PSA: there is already a FOSS OSM maps client that predates Organic Maps by a decade and is much more powerful. It’s called OsmAnd.
Personally I wish all you guys would get with the FOSS spirit and pool your efforts a bit more instead of forking things every two years and reinventing the wheel. A good maps app is a hard challenge, there’s not room for 10 of them.
OsmAnd puts essential features behind a paywall, like unlimited map downloads and CarPlay support.
Development costs money. It’s all open source. Osmand is great.
I don’t understand the complain about money.
@drspod
If you download it from the Fdroid store, then you can download unlimited maps and Android Auto works. I don’t use CarPlay.
AFAIK there is no Fdroid for iOS. I wish there was an equivalent though, now that Apple is supposed to allow 3rd party app stores in the EU.
You use apple and complain about an open source app not being for free?
So I just looked into this because I don’t seem to be missing any “essential features” and it seems that there are major differences between the corporate Store version and the F-Droid version that I use. Pretty hard making sense of it all but it seems that on the FOSS version some otherwise paid features are free (including map downloads), I guess because there would be no mechanism to charge for them when there’s no app-store account. Others don’t seem to be available at all, but apparently I don’t want those.
Anyway, the fact that they publish on F-Droid is the reason I’ve used this app for over a decade and why I never miss an opportunity to shill for it, like right now. Which I hope counts as payment in kind.
I disagree. They both serve a different part of the market. OsmAnd is a heavy tool with thousands of features, Organic Maps is a lightweight tool for more general users. Both approaches have (dis)advantages.
@pietervdvn @JubilantJaguar i used both of them last week. Organic Maps for general fast overview over public transport and Osmand for predefined filters and layers. Different use cases. Osmand is kind of overkill to switch settings when you are on the run, Organic Maps misses some settings but is perfect for orientation. Love both ♥️
