One thing I miss in #OpenStreetMap, #Organicmaps and so on are contextual images. One thing I don't miss are all the ads. Wikimedia has a lot of contextual photos released under a #CreativeCommons license. (wikishootme.toolforge.org/) Couldn't it be possible to create an integration for OSM to pull images from Wikimedia into a map-app like Organic Maps? That would be awesome.

#OpenStreetMap for #Portland is so extremely outdated that I discovered there used to be a restaurant called Daruma Sushi that closed in 2019 in the same space that is currently hosting Feral. Orange & Blossom was missing entirely. I tried to update both, but since #OrganicMaps didn’t let me log in, I’m not sure if my updates will sit in a queue somewhere…

In any case, #OSM is far from being a reliable #GoogleMaps replacement, unless you somehow already know exactly where you’re going 🙃

Google have apparently automated getting rid of negative reviews resulting from their decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico. The only sensible thing to do is to try to stop using the products of billionaire owned American companies, who are *all* demonstrating that they were willing to at the very least bend for fascists, if not actively support fascism.

This came up as part of my continuing process of removing everything which benefits American billionaires from my phone.

I'm now using #organicMaps instead on my phone. It's about 1000 times faster because it doesn't waste time in continuously trying to show you ads.

Dear Play reviewer, The following Play review e8992da9-44d6-48cb-bb51-62f21c12c955 has been hidden from global view because it was identified through automated internal mechanisms as a violation of our Play Ratings and reviews posting policies: It's been getting slower and less usable for years, and now you've conceded to a fascist and renamed the Gulf of Mexico so I've deleted this app. Google is making itself irrelevant.

#OrganicMaps should be added as the number one alternative for Google Maps IMHO.

This is what hides Organic Maps from F-Droid search by default?
Really?
A hotel widget to fucking kayak dot com and... the download server for maps? Yikes.

That sucks, F-Droid. Arguably the kayak.com thing is funny, yes, but... The maps CDN? :(

Anti-Features: This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service: Hotel widget includes a link to kayak.com not contained in original map data. This app depends entirely on a certain instance of a network service: Map download service (cdn*.organicmaps.app).
