I'll keep using the old version until it stops working but already setup Comaps, which is a fork of Organic Maps, since that one is going to shit too.
What's wrong with organic maps?They all pull from the same api
>>107505860https://codeberg.org/comaps#why-comaps>The CoMaps project was initiated in response to the growing concerns and dissatisfaction with the Organic Maps project leadership. The original Organic Maps project, while initially promoted as an open community effort, faced significant issues related to governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. These concerns were detailed in the Open Letter to Organic Maps Shareholders. Despite some positive steps, the lack of a substantive resolution has led us to establish a new, independent path: CoMaps.It also seems like they listen to the community more and the app got 2 or 3 extra features.
>>107505906Time to switchI had some odd bugs where organic maps would end a route early so I'm not tied to it
I've used organic maps for years no I'm not the posters above
>>107505926Have you ever missed traffic and estimated arrival time? As for the time I was thinking about using Google Maps website to check it beforehand. As for speed cameras, in my country there needs to be a sign warning you about them by law, so not missing much.I could also just install Waze on a different profile since I'm using Graphene, but even the thought of using it makes me feel dirty.
>>107505926rest assured, all the bugs will be there in comaps as well(and then probably some new ones on top of that) aaanyway, I was heartbroken when I saw the magic earth update notes. I decided not to update and keep using it until it breaks. I tried downloading some offline maps with the old version and it still works (or it did the couple of days ago I tested). it's just that I thought they were the good guys for all these years, with their ("magic lane" or whatever) commercial offerings being used to secure a revenue stream that would pay for the costs of maintaining the free (as in free beer) app.is the car navigation in comaps/omaps any good? does it offer just one route between A and B, or it lets you pick from a couple of alternatives?
>>107505995Is wayze tracking as hard as Google Maps?>>107506014It's fine but you don't get the fine grained control and those premature route endings only happened with organic maps
>>107506014>does it offer just one route between A and BI just tested it and it only gives 1, the fastest one. Which could be the slowest one since they don't have traffic data.>>107506241>Is wayze tracking as hard as Google Maps?Possibly yes, but even if not it was bought by Google, so all data ends up in their hands. Have a look at the Privacy Exodus scans. It's not recommended by Privacy Guides/Tools anyway.
