I saw @richlv post the other day about #GoogleMaps vs #OpenStreetMap and needed to share this as well.
I first noticed this difference a few months back when my driving instructor couldn't find the location that I sent him (because Google Maps doesn't show it at all). Only after I added "Fairway Walk" (see Google Screenshot for the name/location) as a named road to OSM, did it get added to Google Maps. There are still apartments missing from the Google Maps though.
#OpenStreetMap for #Portland is so extremely outdated that I discovered there used to be a restaurant called Daruma Sushi that closed in 2019 in the same space that is currently hosting Feral.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 🙃
Navigace pro elektroauto
Navigace pro elektroauto má svá specifika. Kromě obvyklých parametrů totiž musí do plánování trasy zahrnout také zastávky pro nabíjení. Obvykle se o to stará palubní navigace, která má také přístup k datům z auta, ale zrovna naše auto ji nemá a já obecně s navigacemi dodávanými přímo automobilkou nebyl nikdy moc spokojený. Proto jsem se rozhodl vyzkoušet, jak si populární navigace pro mobil dokážou s elektroautem poradit.

I was searching for an #googlemaps alternative for rating places but based #openstreetmap data
For example the Eifel Tower:
maps.app.goo.gl/9fxtCpPF8WB71Z…
A friend told me about #mapy that does pretty the same with OSM data.
Ofc it is not used that much in comparison to gmaps:
mapy.com/s/kelazoboma
Even if this is a company driven service, I will give it a try.
Do you know about other tools to cover this part of #googlemaps ?
A bit of #unplugtrump might also be a valid reason here.
Are you looking to replace Google Maps and choose European?
Gladly, we have a lot of alternatives!

I hate big shopping malls. That's why I always need to find the best way to the business and back. #Mapycz and #GoogleMaps are useless for that. POIs are missing, wrongly placed or grouped in the middle of the mall.
But some shopping malls in #Brno are so well mapped in #OpenStreetMap that it can navigate me right to the business. And that even includes changing floors and using escalators. 👍
