https://42.tut.by/712522 Google translate says there's already a movement to bring back the old app. Anyone got a link to the movement?

I only know about https://gitlab.com/axet/omim – but that apparently died down with the maps.me project.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 years ago

Yes, that is the clean MAPS.ME version I mentioned that it was in F-Droid.

Huh

Didn't even notice. I installed it a few years ago but never quite used it much

In F-Droid main repository there is an app called MAPS which is a clean version of MAPS.ME original app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Was. I wanted to check it out after seeing this thread and it wouldn't install. I found out why when I checked F-Droid on my computer. It's gone. Only temporarily, I hope.

Ouch. Thank you for notifying. When I posted the information, was perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Well if MAPS exists and runs fine, why bother with MAPS.ME?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago (1 children)

MAPS is not a full fork of MAPS.ME. MAPS.ME is a big platform that is more than just the app and the MAPS app is fully dependent of the main FLOSS app and this services.

https://f-droid.org/es/packages/com.github.axet.maps/ but maybe speaking with the developer would be better to know in which parts is dependent.

OSMAnd is an alternative to it anyways but the source code requires a lot of cleaning in propietary things as far I remember.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 years ago (2 children)

I don't like OSMAnd. It's UI is just too clanky

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 years ago (1 children)

it's gotten way better the last 2-3 years. Did you try it recently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

Nah. Mayb I'll install it again and see how it does

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

clanky

Ouch, for me is a bit complex. I won't deny that but once you get used to it is slightly comfy or "like being in your house".
