The actual app Magic Earth is proprietary, but it uses OpenStreetMap
Fucking RIP, someone on Lemmy recommended it to me and I thought it was open source. Should've known that Organic Maps would've also did traffic data if it was truly open source...
For now, I'll still use it cause it's better than being tracked by Waze/Google, but damn... Hope these new maps are good.
Edit: Downloaded Comaps from Fdroid yesterday but it wouldn't download the maps, and I can't get into the app. Gave all permissions, wifi was on (but also tried on data), and turned on compatibility mode on Graphene. Downloaded today from the Codeberg repo and it still has an error downloading the maps. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. But I've noticed my maps dont update any longer so I'm glad this is all coming together at the same time.
