@gerdcastan Danke für die Filtertips. Ich hab den simplen bisher bei ein paar Bahnreisen in Nord- & Südeuropa genutzt und wurde vor Ort nur sehr selten enttäuscht. Meist andersrum: Ich konnte "outdoor_seating" eintragen 😄 #OSM & #CoMaps machen einfach warme fuzzy feelings!
So, I can open a gpx file in both OrganicMaps and CoMaps trough the file browser, by tapping the file and choosing to open it in said app. But how can I open a gpx from inside the app?
Tapping the star(s) and then selecting Import Bookmarks and Tracks and choosing a gpx file does not work. Nothing happens!
@da5nsy weekend, and I am on an employer-friendly sick leave at home...
Routing for me in OsmAnd+ works just fine. Tested in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy (my phone is not that old). Yet, when I downloaded the dataset for Greater London, I could not search for the city itself. 😱
The hardest part is the search function itself. I consistently get hits far away sorted ahead of those perfect matches close by. There is definitely room for improvement. 😅
As for 🚂🚃🚃, I fall back to local apps.
I agree how with you, @rupdecat, about the lackluster experience with search.
There are a few tips out there on how to improve this, @da5nsy, but my favorite is supplementing it with #Acastus⁰, which uses Photon elastic search instead.
Works well with any other app you're using, #CoMaps, EveryDoor, etc.
Interesting. I'm using OSM and aCalender anyway.
But as I have to travel in spring a lot and need to update 3 computers to Trixie (Debian) plus one raspi to take care, I chose not to tinker with my phone too soon. However, I will keep this on my priority list.
OSM as in #OpenStreetMap @rupdecat?
Which app do you use? (or do you use it through a browser?)
I'm using #CoMaps but I've found it severely lacking in search and routing so far

For everyone that is disappointed with #Calibre 's decision to introduce LLM bullshit, there's now a Rereading Project, which is going to maintain #Arcalibre, a sustainable fork. Read more about it here: https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/115691478523497546
I wish it was named Excalibre! But that aside, I think it's a good effort. Calibre was a BDFL project, and its author is not the most approachable person. His efforts in creating and maintaining Calibre are appreciated, but one-person systems are very fragile. Rereading Project has a very good mindset - starting with community and governance, instead of rushing headfirst to do code. That's a way chosen by such great projects as #Comaps and #Forgejo, and it pays off greatly.
Please give the project a boost, whether on Fedi, in discussions, or in code!

@neil @simonzerafa and since the fork #comaps has been shipping more or less monthly updates on #fdroid vs nowt from #organicmaps

Time to #GiveUpGitHub like #CoMaps, #MapComplete, and now #Dillo ! Libre software projects should be leading everyone to a freer world - not using proprietary platforms themselves!

Donc la nouvelle version de MagicEarth est sortie. Et c'est pas fameux. ☹️

Je n'ai pas de voiture mais à vélo ou à pied, et parfois quand il m'arrive de louer une voiture, j'utilise #CoMaps et c'est vraiment top pour ces usages (ツ)

🎉 @CoMaps vient d'apporter une nouveauté qui fait très plaisir car elle apporte un véritable plus aux piétons 👟 et cyclistes 🚲, principalement dans les zones urbaines 🏬 en périodes de chaleur ☀️🌡️ : les arbres 🌳🌲
Ci-dessous quelques exemples à #Paris, #Lyon, #Chambéry et bien-sûr à #Grenoble, qui est une référence en termes de déclaration des arbres sur #OpenStreetMap.

If you love #openstreetmap and use their maps on your smartphone, you might know #OrganicMaps, what you might not have heard is that there have been some transparency issues and there is now a fork you might prefer, #CoMaps https://itsfoss.com/news/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

To calculate the "best" routes and more accurate arrival time estimates, #CoMaps assigns so-called penalties to pedestrian crossings or traffic calming features such as speed bumps.
For this to work, the data needs to be available and correct in #OpenStreetMap. On our blog, CoMaps contributor Jean-Baptiste shares some tips on how you can help with improving this data by finding tagging errors, all without having to do surveying in the field!
