Hi! How have you tried to reach us? We have an open task to consider using something like cartes.app as a web "version" of CoMaps. https://codeberg.org/comaps/url-processor/issues/…

I've been editing OSM since 2015 and contributing to FOSS OSM apps for about half that, there have been conflicts or special cases in the past but edits on StreetComplete, OsmAnd, …

Every version of Organic Maps and CoMaps (and probably to some extent OsmAnd) use slightly different formats of maps; consider a new feature to support park bench backrests/colors/…

A.T. is extremely trail oriented including user-submitted routes and reviews, but it may miss some less popular raw OSM-based paths. OSM based apps like OsmAnd and CoMaps just disp…

The Telegram/Matrix channel had the info... for minutes at a time before the owners deleted it :X

80% of OM/CM search issues are just lacking data in OSM

OM and CoMaps should also work, though you might need to wait awhile for a GPS fix and be near a window. Google's main hiccup will be an internet connection for the maps.

I think Uber might use OSM, but might not update very often, or might use different logic than other apps

It's the Kayak referral links on hotel POIs, which some people consider ads

How does Apple accept donations?

I don't think there was an opt-in, at least at first. The Kayak links were there and they had a generic OM referral code attached so they got the credit

It should zoom in and automatically download.

M.E. is closed source and some would argue somewhat enshittifying

This isn't true, I don't know any FOSS OSM apps that have any approval process.

Geo Share is great!

We've actually massively held off on begging for donations -- for example we removed the ability of the app to dynamically insert ads into the menus or change the home button to a …

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad, right?

Hi Alex! Talking about yourself in third person again? Sorry I haven't made enough new features for you lately, I've been a little busy. I'll do better for you, I promise. I wish t…

I moved to self hosted Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) from KeePass and haven't looked back!

It's all user submitted. It takes someone caring enough to fix it, to make it work. Check out StreetComplete, Every Door, Vespucci, and/or CoMaps to help add/fix data

On top of the OsmAnd user experience being a little rough (it can do a lot, but not gracefully) it relies on accurate OSM data underneath. So the best thing to do is at least make …

Very astute! Legally the code is owned by each contributor and licensed via the DCO. Financially the project is underneath the umbrella of the Platform 6 co-op (see OpenCollective)…

Hi biodranik! Hope you're well.
