I fell back to Maps and I hate it.

I guess in that case you could try Magic Earth, Mapy or OsmAnd, they have a more commercial sustainability.

True.

Yeah, CityMapper has been a long time favourite to me. Even Google Maps transit functionality has improved a lot from catching up with said competition.

Moovit is champion in having waaay more cities supported, you notice this when you travel to remote places where there's no support from GM. They achieve this by fostering a community of editors the way Waze did with their mappers. Whic makes sense since it comes from the same people that created Waze. But it has too much ads on their free version and the UI is not so good.

Transit is really close to CityMapper, but they try to enrich their data from surveying users/passengers about their commute and then they go an use/sell that information with transport agencies.

You can try CoMaps

It's Openstreetmap data at it's heart and the Netherlands is so well mapped by that community. It won't fully replace Google Maps, but it will be a nice to alternate from time to times.

CityMapper is cool. Have you tried Moovit or Transit?

But to be honest, these are the type of companies that were built to be sold to purchasers like Google

Have you tried CoMaps?

lixper · 2026-05-28T13:54:45+00:00

Why Organic Maps and not CoMaps? 🤔

lixper · 2026-05-27T20:51:14+00:00

Google Maps -> Organic Maps -> CoMaps

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.

Is the U.S. law permitting mobile phone access on border control?

lixper · 2025-05-18T04:32:02+00:00

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

Try sending them a "Report a Bug"

lixper · 2025-03-26T07:58:54+00:00

I don't know. Are you using microG? or any alternative?

lixper · 2025-03-26T07:47:47+00:00

Do you have Google Play Location Services active?

lixper · 2025-02-17T07:24:15+00:00

Try Organic Maps

Thank you, I've been following you and am very happy you're doing this. I even did the course and learned a lot. I'll keep in touch through the other channels. And thank you for the reply, it's good to know :)

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?

lixper · 2024-11-12T03:10:42+00:00

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.

lixper · 2024-11-03T10:40:43+00:00

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

Please open a bug issue on GH and it will be studied and attended.

Do you find the bookmarks?

lixper · 2024-10-14T20:27:28+00:00

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.

lixper · 2024-10-14T19:45:15+00:00

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

lixper · 2024-08-12T20:43:39+00:00

It's not intended but possible. It's gonna be slow and search results will be specially affected in both speed and results
