Note: If you don't want to deal with stuff like this, I recommend you download and use it from F-Droid client or Accrescent AppStore.

Update: The app returned to the App Store.

I have been happily using OsmAnd while traveling outside my coverage area. Anybody have pros or cons of each of these? I just downloaded this one and didn't really like that it automatically began downloading 250 megabytes of my localish region. In some places that would eat up my entire data package. I would rather it asked.

You can download maps for offline use just like in OsmAnd. I used OsmAnd before but the UI has become sooo sluggish I switched over to OM

Probably the map has 18+ places and no decent way to stop children from seeing them?

I don't know if Google has some API to indicate when the app runs from a child/family link managed account?

If so, then I suppose the Organic Maps dev could block some building categories from showing up (ex: Bars, Stripclub)?

Not showing up in my f-droid either

Thanks, I had to allow other anti features.

[–] confi@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Same for me, I had to enable Other-antifeatures in F-droid settings.

Thanks, enabling anti-fearures worked.

I installed it from fdroid, is there a difference between play store and fdroid version?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

I think there is no android auto due no play services

There goes another useful tool that has been made inaccessible for most of the common users.

Google is like China these days.

[–] LedzMx@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

I can install it at this moment, so I think it was already fixed

Use Obtainium, Add App, paste this URL... https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps

No Play store or Fdroid BS.

I like f droid and currently using droidify. On f-droid you have to enable "anti-features" and it's not a bad feature in my opinion. It discloses if it's using non free services.

Yes but three is no android auto with this way

Problem is the FDroid version doesn't work with Android Auto iirc
