The new "money or data" policy of made me explore based apps and I'm really surprised how good they have become.
And ? It's best fun since I was "stumbling" to help Mozilla Location Service 10 years ago. 🙂

BTW any tip for a good map app that shows trails? I like , but I can't make the app show them. 🤷

@buzzdee @sesivany it requires more CPU and probably ram, to me OM is snappy while OM lags. but it's also good for adding stuff to OSM, and you can select from several map styles or, if you feel adventurous, modify one or make your own.

@buzzdee @sesivany in the money-or-data style, you can either pay for daily updates or contribute enough to OSM, and not necessarily through the app, that you get it for free :)

@mdione @buzzdee the money or data in this case is that you either pay a subscription or agree with collecting data about you and sharing it with 100+ partners to access mapy.cz.

@sesivany @buzzdee right, right, I was just reusing the words to deliver good news :)

@domdel @sesivany That is not free software, is it?

@mcepl @sesivany It use OSM than, I think Yes it is.

@domdel @sesivany

OSM is source of data, I am talking about code for the application itself.

@sesivany

I have been using everywhere exclusively for the last fifteen or so years, and especially in Czechia it worked for me quite well (even better than in more rural parts of France or Italy, and poor Croatia … there is really a lot of work to do there!).

@mcepl OsmAnd seems like the best option indeed. I like the map rendering in Organic Maps better, but if they can't show hiking trails...

@sesivany @mcepl Osmand de hodne potunit, na druhou stranu je tech nastaveni opravdu hromada. Omaps by to casem meli mit, ale resi zatim napr vizualizaci soubehu vice tras a podobne. Pokud bys chtel o tematu pokecat OSM CZ pouziva chat propojenej mezi 5 platformama viz - openstreetmap.cz/git/mahdi1234

OSM.cz - gitdocuments/matterbridge.md at masterdocuments

@sesivany Osmand is something... let's say extremely promising, I paid for subscribtion to support them in the past. But at the end, mapy.cz is something hard to beat (at least in Czech Republic).

@sesivany I suggest for hiking planning, routes elevation profiles and links to additional information https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/ which renders #OSM data quite well for the purpose.
hiking.waymarkedtrails.orgWaymarked Trails - Hiking
@sesivany u OM se se na tom pracuje, taky uz se na to tresu, ale zase navigace je u OM celkem mizerna
