I have been happily using OsmAnd while traveling outside my coverage area. Anybody have pros or cons of each of these? I just downloaded this one and didn't really like that it automatically began downloading 250 megabytes of my localish region. In some places that would eat up my entire data package. I would rather it asked.

You can download maps for offline use just like in OsmAnd. I used OsmAnd before but the UI has become sooo sluggish I switched over to OM

Long shot, but does anyone know of any mapping app where you can easily project a bearing/azimuth line, or a point a given bearing and distance from another point?

The only app I've found so far that can come close to what I need is Backcountry Navigator, which has a terrible UI. Everything else seems to be focused entirely on GPS navigation from where you are now to a known destination; I have yet to find one that allows even basic triangulation, to be able to identify the location of an observed object.

Not showing up in my f-droid either

[–] confi@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same for me, I had to enable Other-antifeatures in F-droid settings.

[–] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 6 points 3 months ago

Thanks, enabling anti-fearures worked.

[–] ModerateImprovement@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Check again.

[–] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 3 months ago

Thanks, I had to allow other anti features.

I installed it from fdroid, is there a difference between play store and fdroid version?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

I think there is no android auto due no play services

There goes another useful tool that has been made inaccessible for most of the common users.

Google is like China these days.

[–] LedzMx@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

I can install it at this moment, so I think it was already fixed

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago

actually normal business for Google Play and smaller apps

Use Obtainium, Add App, paste this URL... https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps

No Play store or Fdroid BS.

I like f droid and currently using droidify. On f-droid you have to enable "anti-features" and it's not a bad feature in my opinion. It discloses if it's using non free services.

Yes but three is no android auto with this way

there's !organicmaps@sopuli.xyz but it's pretty much dead

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 3 months ago

Problem is the FDroid version doesn't work with Android Auto iirc

[–] SlowRoastedMadness@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it was a mix up? I just checked their website and clicked on the link they had for playstore and then downloaded it from there.

[–] ModerateImprovement@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

I just checked again and I can confirm the same.

I will edit the post to reflect this.
