No 1st April joke. I got my wife to install Organic Maps today and she even likes it better than Google Maps.

@ravenport Say thanks to your wife, our team is happy to hear that :) We would love to make OM even more usable by non-geeks.

@organicmaps Wenn man auch Tracks aufzeichnen könnte, wäre die App perfekt!

This app would be perfect whether there is the possibility to track ones position!

@florian_steglich do you mean track recording feature? It is planned.

@organicmaps hello ! Thanks for the hard work 😁
I just registered a new store on the map and there is no way to indicate if it is accessible with a wheelchair. Is this a feature which will be implemented?
(Sorry my English is half decent 😅)

@PetitPas Yes, that is planned: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/4661

As much as I like @organicmaps today it failed me by navigating me to places where bike can't go.

@xgebi @organicmaps Can you please clarify, was the map data incorrect, or the app has a bug? Map data comes from OpenStreetMap.org

OpenStreetMap login was fixed in Google Play. Enjoy updating the map, and don't forget that you can edit anything directly at the osm.org website.

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring the Mozilla Location Service which provides an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰

https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065

This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

@thibaultmol @gnomelibre @cassidy @openstreetmap @osm_fr @organicmaps that would be great to support. Is anyone interested to lead the alternative location service?

Apple Maps now has cycling directions available in Belgium. Finally.

@organicmaps is still my go-to app for bike routing, but it’s nice to have options.

@otagi @organicmaps please share on our Github how our cycling experience can be improved ;-)

From Google maps:
Congrats! Your photos just reached a new milestone. Collectively they have now been viewed over 250,000 times, helping lots of people get the information they need.

Now everyone can back up or share all bookmarks and imported tracks as one KMZ file with just one click! And then import everything back from the same file.

Apple users can now edit the colors of imported tracks and have a more convenient way of editing bookmarks. And don't forget to check our updated About dialog!

Read the detailed changelog on our website: https://organicmaps.app/news/2024-03-11/now-everyone-can-back-up-or-share-all-bookmarks-and-imported-tracks-as-one-kmz-file-with-just-one-click/

@joachim @organicmaps you can edit KMZ (a zip of KML) in Google Earth or in some other services like umaps (work with KML inside a zip)
