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.

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)?

Long shot, but does anyone know of any mapping app where you can easily project a bearing/azimuth line, or a point a given bearing and distance from another point?

The only app I've found so far that can come close to what I need is Backcountry Navigator, which has a terrible UI. Everything else seems to be focused entirely on GPS navigation from where you are now to a known destination; I have yet to find one that allows even basic triangulation, to be able to identify the location of an observed object.

Trail Sense might do what you want, and has a decent UI.

Not showing up in my f-droid either

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Thanks, enabling anti-fearures worked.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I think there is no android auto due no play services

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

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

Google is like China these days.

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

No Play store or Fdroid BS.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes but three is no android auto with this way

there's [email protected] but it's pretty much dead

Maybe it was a mix up? I just checked their website and clicked on the link they had for playstore and then downloaded it from there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I just checked again and I can confirm the same.

I will edit the post to reflect this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

actually normal business for Google Play and smaller apps
