No web interface?

It seems Like it doesnt work without gapps. I am in LineageOS without gapps, so Organic Maps wins.

EDIT: It works without Gapps. Tested it again today and it worked.

Crowd sourced is the worst. When ease was new and was crowd sourced it would always have me make a right onto a side street, take an immediate left and then another right to continue on the same street I was already on.

I really hope that isn’t what they mean my crowd sourced.

Lol Google Maps did that shit to me literally yesterday, it happens all the time.

[–] FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've seen that happen in both Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps...

But the nice thing about something crowdsourced like OpenStreetMaps, is that I can just hop on their editor and fix the street that is broken.

Would not addition people that continue to do the same thing override your fix?

[–] FrederikNJS@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When a piece of road is properly connected, there's very little reason for others to go and disconnect it again.

There's also an approval system, so changes made has to be reviewed by others, and you have comments to explain why and what you did.

Disconnected roads like the one OP mentions happens by accident, not by intention.

All the fixes I have put into OpenStreetMaps has stayed there.

Thanks for the detailed explanation as I was really curious.

This might be Europe only. Blocked in US App Store

Edit: this is likely the case…at least for now. Screenshots on website are European

[–] sarsaparilyptus@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not, I installed it in the U.S. just fine.

[–] nostalgicgamerz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You must be android or something since it’s not available in iOS App Store in USA

[–] SoManyChoices@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

It was definitely available in the US App Store earlier this year because I have it installed on both of my iOS devices. I can’t find any info as to when and why it was removed.

[–] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Seems to be in the UK iOS store

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Not available (currently) in Canada.

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Works just fine for me?

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Sad, I was excited to try it out

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.film -5 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Wow. Major fail-and-uninstall for me: There's a repertory movie theatre across town I visit once a month and always use Google maps for traffic and routing advice. Magic Earth couldn't find it.

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Follow-up after using Magic Earth to navigate to an intersection up in the local hills: It worked, but I didn't like that it wasn't indicating street names in the read-aloud directions--just "turn left, turn right". That might be a must-have feature for me.
