I actually like that idea! (As a non-dbzer0 user). But a separate community might be too much at this point considering no one has made a comment about it. How about posts in this community with a specific “tag”? [MEGATHREAD] or something?

Just my two cents added to your suggestion.

OsmAnd is also cool, but yeah I prefer the simplicity of Organic maps myself and haven’t needed much more in my day-to-day life.

Best part is: both are good replacements for google/apple (in the context of getting rid of big tech) and thankfully we can choose!

Yeah sadlt :( they have started working on an iOS app but it desperately needs more contributors.

Let’s hope they manage to find help.

I have hopes that in the future they will add such a service but not directly, but rather integrate another FOSS service for this (like their map information pane is often wiki text + link to the full wiki article).

I’ve found some I’ve been meaning to look at whether they are truly FOSS but I’ve been too lazy. My latest bookmark from these kind of services is kartaview: https://github.com/kartaview

Just crossposted a really good thread from 3 months ago to [email protected]!

Yay! we’ll get there, lemmy is growing, I’ve noticed that my procrastination moments with lemmy are no longer “scroll for 2 minutes and I’ve seen the whole of lemmyverse”. I’m actually procrastinating now.

I briefly tried the development version of their desktop version on Windows 11 using WSL and would not recommend it yet, but I can imagine it works better on Linux since it is a flatpak!

(before I get butchered on lemmy: I daily drive linux at home, windows 11 is for work).

Thanks for the link to F-droid! Appreciate it!

And now: I have to admit I have the same problem. I love OM but I keep it in day mode for the same reason. Wish there was a way to turn the menus dark mode and keep the map colors…

To be fair I don’t like Google Maps’ dark mode either. Otherwise it is dark mode for every piece of software I use.

Not really no, I haven’t bumped into any issues using the community wiki megathread so far.

My question was prompted by me accidentally using a old bookmark that took me to rentry and noticed that it had seen updates very recently and compared to lemmy community wiki which seemed like it has not been updated since october. I started wondering whether the links were still all fine and there was no need to update them, or was it simply mostly abandoned and do people rather use rentry?

I personally prefer the lemmy community edition, but I’m such a noob when it comes to piracy that I put maybe too much trust into the megathread and this was just a wake up call to double check what am I clicking on and thought maybe asking the community about the state of the wiki wasn’t a bad idea.

Ah dammit forgot to link it, thanks for the link! Also great recommendation with the Street measure; I was ignoring measurement update “quests” because I didn’t have the means of checking them.

Just in case there are map nerds looking at this thread who might not know about a related app to fill OpenStreetMap attributes while having fun doing it: check out StreetComplete; PokemonGo but instead catch wrong / outdated / unmarked map information and get credited for it!

Hey no problem! Hope it fills your needs - it doesn’t fully replace all map applications but I’ve been loving it and sticked to it in my last two trips abroad and it was enough (apart from local public transport app, which I always get on my trips because it’s essential to me).

Yeah with the “old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community” I mean that one and noticed that it is getting more edits than the community one here.

Wanted to basically know whether the lemmy community megathread is basically unmaintained and should I just use the rentry one. I really like the idea of lemmy community megathread, but I feel like if it is not maintained it might be more of a hazard. But I’m no expert and wanted a community discussion about this.

Edit: wanted to add that this is a pirate community afterall, would be of no shame to … pirate rentry megathread to lemmy community wiki every once in awhile, har har har

For how many years have they been milking this same man?! /s
