We'd love to have your input for improved transit in CoMaps! I agree it's an important priority. Last GSoC there was a project for ingesting GTFS feeds against OSM data, since local agencies are often much better about their detai

Un(?)fortunately, us Organic Maps forkers have been with the project since Organic Maps was OMaps, and before. The only people with more commits than the senior fork member are the OM co-owners themselves. We really tried getting OM to deli

Yeah it's unfortunate. Allegedly Roman wrote those goals but the other co-founders never really went along with them.

There's a lot of discussion about bicycle routing improvements, as well as displaying alternate routes. I expect these conversations to be continued in CoMaps, so your input is valued and welcome there! https://github.com&#x

I agree, the issue is that the map data is highly customized. I believe StreetComplete uses online map tiles so that's less of a concern, but i.e. with Organic Maps the map data is highly tied to the app version: support for a data ent

Originally Alexander said that it was just too hard to register a nonprofit. I think the real answer is that he always intended to use it as an investment and sell it off (open source, but basically selling the userbase, just like Maps.ME.)

Nope, I'm only angry if I go telling all my friends that some app is the future of freedom and privacy, and printing flyers and driving them around town, and then that app turns and sells out their values to crypto scammers. I need rea

The "updates" link is for news and the "download" page has buttons that are inactive, are you seeing anything "Organic" remaining on the site? We've been trying to clean things up but may have missed somet

Also with mobile apps, app store users are the most "valuable" thing -- much like Maps.Me, the "app" could be sold tomorrow and what really happens is the FOSS code is thrown away or sunsetted and the users wake up to an

Most of the top 16 signers of the open letter are well-known names in Organic Maps, and the Updates to the letter try to fairly characterize the (lack of) response from OM. It's hard to link directly to raw evidence for the general pub

I'm happy to help, I've done a decent amount of power line mapping in California. If you reply here or @willbradley on Twitter I can either advise or work with you to identify the problems. Should take 15 mins to fix once we know

This is a great attitude, but there's a lot of people out there who don't find orienteering fun, they just want to get into and back out of nature safely: the natural surroundings are what's fun to them and they don't wa

I'm okay with it, because as an American I'm inherently distrustful of eastern European TLDs like cz ru etc but Windy is a truly amazing weather website so it inspires confidence (and having a mobile version has been needed for aw
