For many #OpenStreetMap users on mobile (#OsmAnd, #OrganicMaps, #MagicEarth, apps that supports geo links), the built-in search feature is less than desirable. It works, *kinda*, but many wish it could be better.

If you're one of them users, you might want to check out #Acastus Photon, an #Android app that uses a #Photon server, an alternative geocoder for #OSM data.

Think of it as a companion app for leveling up the UX of your favorite #OSM front-end.

@MapAmore Nice to see that komoot is also adding open source tools.
@barefootstache Are they? I never tried #Komoot, myself. 😬
@MapAmore If you go to the original website of the app Photon (https://photon.komoot.io/). It says it is open source.
Photon, search-as-you-type with OpenStreetMap

@barefootstache Cool! Thanks for the heads-up.
