I've been trying to use osmand but it doesnt have public transport capabilities or live updates which is just too much its missing out on to switch for 100% of tasks

It's fine to use it for 80% of tasks too and try to contribute to it becoming available for 100% of tasks.

What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I can't use it for 80% I don't even have house numbers on streets Ive added a whole bunch tho so I guess I'm making it better for the future. Idk where to even start with adding live traffic/public transport to it what language does it even use?

"HERE we go" has that. Although i dont think its open source, its probably miles better than google.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I don't see any advantage over google unless its open source.

I find public transport like buses extremely lacking, using google I ended up on the wrong part of the city, best to use local apps for it.
