In that case, airgap and strict media discipline (once media touches the secure network, it's never used on insecure networks again) should do, no? But my point is that most us aren't foreign states trying to make nuclear reactors

Wouldn't it be easier to just gain access to the datacenters where the data is stored, presumably unencrypted?

Granted, I've never used it in a hurry. Also, my previous experience with maps was Garmin's City Navigator, which I thought was okay, but it was much worse than OsmAnd. I actually still use have it as a backup because it can run c

"Horrendous!" "truly awful"? Can you elaborate on what exactly is wrong with OsmAnd's UI to elicit such a strong reaction? I use it myself and don't have any problems with it. It seems about the same as any mob
