Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is Born

Should have named it libre map.
A little variety shouldn't hurt. There are plenty of Libre X or Yet Another X projects already.

Thanks for asking i've been wondering myself actually. I looked it up and organic maps doesn't actually do traffic, although magic earth does (another not foss but apparenty privacy respecting map app that uses osm) It says it's just crowdsourced from the general public who uses magic earth (in an anonimous way, I guess there are enough magic earth uses for it to work since Some people say it works really well. (although others say it doesn't you should probably try it for yourself.)
On another note that I also found from my research just then, traffic knowing apps don't actually improve travel times but they do make previously congested places more congested.
sources:Edit: Magic earth is not foss so there is no way to varify that the app is actually respecting your privacy like it says it is, i'm sorry for any confusion.
Magic Earth is proprietary, not FOSS.

This meme format makes me sad ever since I learned that the blonde woman was outed as being severely physically abused by her husband here.

Oof. That sucks.
Time to fork the meme.

Fucking RIP, someone on Lemmy recommended it to me and I thought it was open source. Should've known that Organic Maps would've also did traffic data if it was truly open source...
For now, I'll still use it cause it's better than being tracked by Waze/Google, but damn... Hope these new maps are good.
Edit: Downloaded Comaps from Fdroid yesterday but it wouldn't download the maps, and I can't get into the app. Gave all permissions, wifi was on (but also tried on data), and turned on compatibility mode on Graphene. Downloaded today from the Codeberg repo and it still has an error downloading the maps. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you.
But I've noticed my maps dont update any longer so I'm glad this is all coming together at the same time. -
Magic Earth
is open source andhas traffic/crowd sourced stuff like WazeEdit: Sorry guys, I don't know why I thought Magic Earth was open source. Really looking forward to this if they get traffic data in there!
I haven't heard of that one. Will look into it just to have options.

Because it's an option already. "Transliterate to Latin letters."
Edit: I should add that you should look at how many keyboard layouts there are. It's kind of silly that for me to use an OSM based map and go to any county east of Slovenia I need to both have the keyboard AND know the transliteration of the alphabet.
Have you seen the Armenian or Georgian alphabets? What makes the K sound?
Did you know every dialect of a Slavic language using Cyrillic has it's own distinct keyboard varied by mostly the letter for the nya sound and J?
Greek?
All while transliteration works fine in Google.
East Slavic languages only differ by the choice of i/y letters and Belarusian's short u, Ukrainian yi and ye letters (and technically the apostrophe). You can have a combined Ukrainian and Russian alphabet keyboard. I have it on Heliboard
Bulgarian uses the er golyam/hard sign as a vowel, which it used to be in every Slavic language in the past. Macedonian is mutually intelligible, but uses an alphabet similar to BCS Cyrillic.

Is this ai?
It's the text from the article... How are you this dumb?

Offtopic:
Is it possible to "avoid road" upon tapping a location? OsmAnd offers this feature, in case you are confronted with a road block or construction site. CoMaps does not it seems. I can not correct routing live without this function. -

Nothing is as funny as having to undergo facial reconstruction surgery because your husband punched you hard enough to break your bones.

It’s not stupidity. They didn’t read the article then came to the comments and saw a strangely worded response.

U'd love to use Osmand on a daily basis but the map renders so slow for me that it becomes hard to use. Zooming out to then wait 10+ seconds is annoying. I still use it frequently but for everyday tasks I swotched to Omaps/COmaps.

Which rendering engine do you use?

Good to see devs willing to do the work needed in order to draw hard lines on the capitalist leeches that divert money away from the project. I am looking forward to the traffic system that they mentioned as a future option. Would allow users that are okay with turning on those features for adding crowdsourced traffic data and stuff like marking cops posting up to get their quotas.
Literally the only thing that keeps me on Waze is that stuff. I have to deal with a lot of interstate travel to and from work and knowing that a big crash happened so I can re-route before getting stuck is crucial. I will still make sure to have this installed just like I had Organic Maps as a good option. And to see what stuff I go to that needs to be updated on OSM and StreetComplete. Had to add all of the addresses on my street on OSM a while ago just to be able to correctly enter my address. One of those addresses that is listed as one town for mailing and is technically within the borders of a smaller one with regards to utilities and plots of land.
The problem is if nobody uses it, there won't be any data.

I could not find any word of an iOS version of CoMap. Does someone know?

Yeah, just read like ai

Version 2 but I tried both.

Organic Maps was on iOS, my guess is that it'll take time to get a new app approved on the iOS store
