This may already be solved, but one of the last pieces remaining in my quest to be Google-free is an interoperable way to sync map bookmarks (and routes, etc) between different open source mapping apps. I can manually import/export kmz files from Organic Maps and OsmAnd, and store them in a directory synced between different devices with Nextcloud, but there's no automatic way to keep them updated in the apps, and so far I haven't found a great desktop app for managing them either. The holy grail would be to also have them sync in the background to my Garmin Fenix, but I am not aware of a way to sync POIs to a Garmin watch in the background.
Related: I'd love to have an Android app with a shortcut that allows me to quickly translate Google Maps links into coordinates, OSM links or other map links. There is a browser extension that does this on desktop, so if anyone is looking for a low hanging fruit idea for an Android app, this might be a fun idea (if I don't get around to it first).
- tome 5y agoHave you documented your replacements for various Google technologies somewhere? I'm particularly interested in a good calendar.
- yosito 5y agoI'm using Nextcloud to host my calendar. On my work Mac, I connect to it using Fantastical. On my personal Ubuntu machine I use GNOME Calendar, and on Android I use https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar Everything is seamless for me, though admittedly I'm not a super heavy calendar user. I plan to do a write up on my whole Google-free setup, but I haven't done it yet, unfortunately.
- tome 5y agoThanks! Do you self-host Nextcloud or did you get an account at one of the providers?
- yosito 5y agoI got a VPS and installed Nextcloud with Docker. I would self-host on my own server, but I'm too nomadic for that at the moment. I think the /e/ foundation has a decent managed Nextcloud setup.
