OrganicMaps is such a great app. I did not know it was owned by this type of organisation.
I hope they sort it out.

#22Why do people contribute to Organic Maps and not to OSM? I always assumed that Organic Maps was a sophisticated way to distribute OSM data, nothing more.
You cannot use OSM by itself for gps navigation on your phone, right?

#23Wait, what, again? I thought Organic Maps was the "good"/BDFL-led/actually open fork of Maps.me that was bought and turned into malware?

OSM-the-database needs a general public app where contribution is possible to finally be popular.
Organic was seen by many as this app, despite its specific choices like being offline.
Contributing to this app is hence very important for OSM to exist given Google & Apple Maps.

#25Site still prompts to install organic maps app on mobile.
Indeed no working download buttons on https://www.comaps.app/download/
It's mentioned in their code forge[0] that they're working on getting the first release out. So there's not yet anything to download.

#28Again?
Wasn't the whole thing about Organic Maps to be a community-led fork of maps.me?
So now we're at a fork of a fork?
Re: A community-led fork of Organic Maps
#29A fork of a fork I guess, Organic Maps was originally `maps.me`, and I suppose we're forking it again
