    🍃 Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by MapsWithMe (MapsMe) founders and our community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware. Please donate to support the development!

    • I love organic maps. It's my daily driver for navigation, especially in rural areas where GoogleMaps just sucks.

    I wish they added warnings for speed limits though. They do this only when there is a speed camera, but not generally. The PR is here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/pull/5233

  • Openstreetmap

    The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

    • Note that if some data is missing or wrong - you can fix it by editing on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ as they use OpenStreetMap data

    Such help is really welcome!

    If you are on Android then I recommend StreetComplete which asks questions and edits OSM based on answers (disclaimer: I wrote parts of it)

    (Organic Maps has some limited editing capability, but for example you will not change road geometry or add forest area with it)

  • StreetComplete

    Easy to use OpenStreetMap editor for Android

    • There is a separate app to install with VR tool that is capable of measuring it without tape measure :)

    See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost...

    (initially it was bundled in one app, later it turned out that Google was lying about license of arcore repository, see https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/4289 )

  • OsmAnd

    OsmAnd

    • OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
