Interesting, I'm here from /all. What exactly is Organic Maps, and what's its connection to OpenStreet Maps?
Organic Maps is open source, beautiful and private. The app uses map data from Openstreetmap.
Ah right. So it's like a front-end alternative UI to OSM, basically?
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
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?
Does this app work as well for all parts of the world? I’m in Europe
Yes, it covers all the regions and Europe's has the most detailed maps in openstreetmap especially Germany.
I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?
No, as it uses the same openstreetmaps database to power the app. So you can continue to donate.
From Europe: Works perfectly for me (and why wouldn't it, it's just OSM)
