How do you get those free storage upgrades? Never seen that anywhere on the website before

Is that because of a shitty microphone and speaker in the phones? Couldn't just use some headphones to solve this?

Is that just a small piece of bamboo that you cut or something transformed. I can't seem to find much information searching for bamboo pot scra

As far as I know there is unfortunately no good webapp using OSM.

I guess graphopper is probably the best but I don't personally like it that much. You can create a route with it 1nd send the gpx file to your phone and open it Osmand and then follow that. It's nothing like using the Google maps feature send to phone or email because you can't really modify it then.

Apparently it's the same guy doing both from the headline. Didn't read the article to be honest.

Surely as it does have a user base somebody would take over in that case even as a fork for brand reasons or whatever.

Public transit navigation is possible in Osmand but there will not times just the routes and only if the data is present in Openstreetmap and that pretty rare, really depends where you live.

Osmand does have a plugin for open reviews or something and I think I saw there were plans to use another source too. I guess, on top of photos from Wikimedia and mapillary it is trying to become a bit like Google Maps in a way...

There is also a plugin for mapillary street view that doesn't work too bad.

Only missing a Web app for desktop.

You are supposed to use an app and not the website for navigation and generally looking 1t the map.

On android the best two IMHO are Osmand and Organic Maps but depending on what you what there are others. Many on F-Droid. Osmand also has an ios app.

Organic maps is quite nice.

What and why is Osmand tracking us. Are they actually selling that data. I had completely missed that. Weirdly didn't get and email...

Reminds me how librivox and others publish their audiobooks as podcasts. I guess artists could upload their albums like this?

I personally would always prefer saying boy girl man woman over male and female. Whener I first saw it used it was always in a negative context like "young black male" in regard to some crime to give the opposite example. Just like in French I think it's weird to refer to humans with male and female, although accurate of course, as I would only expect it in for animals.
