Great, I've been waiting for this to happen before recommending it to my acquaintances. It's the only FLOSS app that I have been able to find with all the following:
- a sane user interface,
- offline mapping and navigation,
- and a good search engine that doesn't force "Country/City/Street" fields to find streets and POIs.
It's a bit slim, but now that's under the Apache license it will surely grow features faster.
I wonder what the company's monetization strategy will be?
- TuringTest 11y agoAh, found it. [1] They plan to integrate it with hotel and taxi booking services. [1] http://blog.maps.me/2015/09/mapsme-launched-its-walking-directons.html http://blog.maps.me/2015/09/mapsme-launched-its-walking-dire...
- lcswi 11y agoYou've got to try osmand!
- maxerickson 11y agoThe sane interface and friendly search are pretty direct contrasts with OSMAnd. I do think the new interface in OSMAnd is headed in the right direction though.
- lcswi 11y agoI love the new interface but you are right about the search. Somehow I thought they had reworked that terrible address 'browser' into a free form search. :-(
- ClashTheBunny 11y agoIf you're online, it does do free form search with a geolocation API. Offline, you still need to have all of your destinations saved as favorites.
- TuringTest 11y agoI did, but the 10 maps limit and terrible search format held me back.
