A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Now is the best time for everyone to make the switch to osm based map apps like OsmAnd; especially with the disinformation and mislabeling that Google and Apple are spreading.

I've been using OsmAnd~ from FDroid, and it's the first time in a long time that I've felt something close to feature overload. Between the modes, all the settings per mode, different map layers and sources, all the plugins, and ability to edit maps... that thing feels more like a GIS app than a maps app 😄

OpenStreetMap itself also has a map with wiki-style feature edition history and comments.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have Maps.ME on my droid. Adding this to my list to use.
