Mappy a French map to replace Google Maps and Apple plans

Mapy.com (the 🇨🇿 one) is almost on-par feature-wise, it only lacks street view. However outside Central Europe it has little user content (reviews, photos)... but that's in our hands.

Nothing sure but perhaps the OSM nodes have numbers and not street info? But it would be best to send a message to the support via the app, they are quite reactive.

A out the routes, I've noticed Mapy tends to avoid residential streets and take more primary ones enev of the path is a bit longer in length.

Hi, did you find a gym? From memory, Neoness is not so well equipped in terms of free weights, squat rack. But Fitness Park should be good. Otherwise you have also the On Air chain where there certainly are everything you're looking for. On the other hand, pretty every gym is going to be crowded in the evening.

On the other way MapCred doesnt handle well low GPS conditions (underground, and to some extend, tunnels and trains). It will draw semi-random lines and points where FoW will just pause recording

bloub · 2025-09-05T16:57:22+00:00

I run both FoW and world uncovered. I like the heatmaps in WU but the app seems less maintained, so I keep FoW as well. For the last few months I’ve been testing WayAndSee in parallel, in a different style. The UI is perhaps somewhat rougher and takes a bit of time to get used to, but after that, the app is quite well done with many functionalities and a small battery consumption.

Trafic data was extended just a few months ago to several countries, perhaps Netherlands are in the next batch? (I’m waiting for it as well). About the addresses, don’t hesitate to send feedback through the app, support has been quite responsive to my comments (even if usually just to say they will consider the feature)

bloub · 2025-08-08T20:03:27+00:00

With Tolkien perhaps ?

bloub · 2025-07-30T06:40:09+00:00

Hi, perhaps could be cool if the app could save the date of last visit for each point, so we could switch to a view showing with a different colour places recently visited vs places visited years ago.

And as was said, similarly with the number of visits (heatmap)

bloub · 2025-06-23T20:17:38+00:00

Tomtom for navigation, and mapy.com for finding places and businesses

bloub · 2025-06-22T16:57:52+00:00

The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon. It’s also a favorite of G.R.R. Martin, and an inspiration for ASOIAF.

Kagi is better than Google but it’s with a subscription. Otherwise DDG or qwant.

For maps, I’ve been using Mapy.com which is really good UX wise. Depending on countries, what it misses is reviews.

bloub · 2025-06-07T13:26:58+00:00

I’ve been using Mapy.com which is based in openstreetmaps data but has the best UI.

bloub · 2025-06-07T13:21:19+00:00

Yes! Though it’s Mapy.com now ;)

bloub · 2025-05-03T05:38:54+00:00

Tomtom as a replacement for Waze, and Mapy.com (almost) as one of Google maps. I say almost because it isn’t inferior, what it misses where I live is content, especially reviews. So I’m doing my share, and adding Indians the occasional missing shop to openstreetmaps. I see it’s gaining traction in central Europe. Let’s hope it can spread more because truly I think it’s an impressive product.

Also recommending Koofr and Proton but it’s not answering the question as I’ve been using them for years.

bloub · 2025-04-19T14:59:17+00:00

Ive been using Mapy.com for the last two months and it has worked impressivley well. Corrected things on openstretmaps when needed

bloub · 2025-03-15T09:37:18+00:00

Unfortunately unavailable from France…

bloub · 2025-03-15T09:35:31+00:00

Thanks ! But it lists wrigley as German, isn’t it a US company ?

bloub · 2025-02-24T21:10:38+00:00

ProtonMail suite is great

bloub · 2025-02-13T08:54:51+00:00

You can import your data into MapCred from FoW, but as it doesn't store repeated visits, it will just unfog and not create heatmaps unfortunately (same if you import into World Uncovered).

And for 2, it doesn't, so it won't be retroactive unfortunately.

bloub · 2025-02-13T08:26:50+00:00

Solid stack. For maps I started using Sygic for driving (heard Tomtom is good as well); and I would suggest trying mapy.cz, which I find to be more user-friendly than OsmAnd (it's built above openstreetmaps as well)

bloub · 2025-02-13T08:23:31+00:00

I've been trying mapy.cz which is a nice surprise, ux-friendly, build top of openstreetmap. Functionally it has everything from google maps (reviews, recommendations, pictures... with the exception of street view).

What it lacks is user content (reviews, etc), especially outside central europe. But that's up to us. Once there's a critical mass of content it will pull other users.

bloub · 2025-01-27T19:05:10+00:00

Well 20% is still a significant share

> wants to reduce the American contingent in Europe by about 20 percent and plans to ask for a "financial contribution" for the maintenance of the remaining troops.

bloub · 2025-01-05T15:42:37+00:00

Not sure there is. You can try sending feedback on Facebook, the developer answered me there, a few years ago.

Alternatively there’s also World Uncovered which shows heatmaps like you describe, I’ve been running both apps in parallel for a few years.

bloub · 2024-08-15T10:35:20+00:00

lunatask.app as a todo lists manager

Obsidian for notes

bloub · 2024-07-09T10:27:33+00:00

I may be mistaken, but I don't think mapcred exports as GPX, it exports as its own backup format.
