In anticipation of apple maps starting ads, I am going to give OSMAnd maps a try. Directions, searching, transit..let’s see how it does.

It is, if anything, too much info. It has individual park benches. You may call that good, but it makes the map so busy. Also no street view, but I can fall back to Apple maps if needs must.

Still, let’s give it a whirl.

#Moin. Kann mir wer mit guten #FDroid -#Android -#Apps -Kenntnissen helfen?

Ich habe einen #OpenTracks -#Track und #Osmand installiert. Aber #OpenTracksApp kann mir das nicht als #Karte ausgeben, weil angeblich keine App installiert sei, die die API unterstützt? 🤷 Was kann ich tun?
Ich will den Track in #OsmandApp haben...

Struggling to make the world a better place? Then how about improving the map of the world by participating in #openstreetmap ?
It's like #wikipedia just for maps. It provides a free and open-source alternative to Google Maps. I use it with #osmandapp for car navigation.

The easiest way to participate is probably with https://streetcomplete.app
No prior knowledge necessary.
The app guides you to complete missing map data by little quests. Careful though: it's very addictive.

Summer 24 somewhere in Sweden.
After a delicious dinner, we went for a digestive walk with the midnightsun and making some survey. Of course I used the Osmand app with Quick Action function, Streetcomplete and took pictures with Mapcomplete.

#TIL that #OsmAnd has a setting to colour tracks according to the speed you used when walking them, or the altitude of each part (among other things):

(So I don't need a fancy smart watch, like my colleague, to get that 🙂 [it's enough with a fancy smart phone…])
