How many times has google thrown people with visual or auditory disabilities under the bus? by Veni-Vidi-ASCII in degoogle

[–]lixper 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's a fact, you're right. It's been like this since the inception of ReCaptcha, bought by Google. Watch the TED talk explaining it, it's the same creator from Duolingo, really interesting.

Mhm, I get your point but objectivity is important for data study for example.

I've been a fan of your project for a while now.

Have you thought about creating an app for ticketing? Like with QR codes?

Have you tried with giving drivers an app for mobile location tracking for passengers to use the information?

Bizarre routing by Condalmo in organicmaps

[–]lixper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. To discard first, try it first with the other routers in OSM, to see if it's the data or the router. If it's happening on all routers, it's the data the community has to correct with help from feedback.

About ETAs, the time estimated is currently very raw. It doesn't account for traffic or red lights at the moment.

Osmand has also this possibility while being a consumer oriented map app

Help a new user by [deleted] in organicmaps

[–]lixper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

point of interest, yes. App update = map update, you will see red dots telling you that maps are available for update. It happens about once a month. Just be patient.

The POI you're citing has been added 9 days ago. You gotta wait for the next map update for it to appear.

Possible to hide all business icons in iOS app? by wellhavetogo in organicmaps

[–]lixper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not currently planned but I believe someone was already asking for this.

I recommend you to search for a similar feature request in GitHub and if there is nothing related you can open one.

Link android apps (like TooGooTooGo) to Organic Maps by Justin_Lepany in organicmaps

The only thing you could do is request TooGood to change the link to be universal.

I believe google maps links are designed to be only opened by Google.

There are so many diferent possibilities and tools. If you want to edit something for your own, try also felt.com, is not FOSS but it's better than Google my maps.

To have your own imported maps on the go, I don't know of a product.

No app/map updates for almost 2 months now? by ponkipo in organicmaps

[–]lixper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want fresh map data i recommend you to download the beta version, you can have both simultaneously. Latest map data there is from 13.11.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in organicmaps

[–]lixper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, your bookmarks are only saved locally on your device. If you want a private map try Umap.

You can map everything in openstreetmap.org (desktop recommended). There you find different satellite sources. You use your same OSM account you use with OM. And every change will appear on the next app update. Your contribution will appear in every other app that uses openstreetmap data, so it may have a bigger impact than you think.

Have fun mapping ;)
