  • Organic maps was a really happy find for me. I like it WAY better than osmand (even though I do like that one on principal). The look/functionality of it are damn near top notch. A few refinements here and there and it will be something truly special in my opinion.

    'wraps google maps in a webview. Can be very privacy firendly depending on the browser your system uses as it’s webview'

    so it like will contain it or something then? I typically try to use firefox for everything. I've run into the webview version of google maps a few times, but I wouldn't think it was any more secure to use that version.

  • Calling the places would certainly be more convenient than actually going in, that's for sure!

  • Thanks for the recommendation. I've heard of this one before, but not that familiar with it.

    Is there any benefits/drawbacks to this one vs. fb marketplace?

  • Awesome, It will be interesting to see what it develops into!

    marketplace is one of the last things holding me back from jumping off that platform I think.

  • I'm definitely going to keep dreaming then because I think we can do it better.

  • Are those still a thing?

    Serious question, I haven't used them in a very long time. Can they be (legitimately) sourced online, or will I need to go to a library/store to source the information?

    It's not a problem either way, but it would be good to know these things anyway.

  • ^go full analog with it. Got it.

    I know that I can talk to people if I need to, but a lot of times I really don't want to. Sometimes that isn't (immediately) an option either. Still solid advice though, I concur.

  • One workaround that I have found (though, ultimately I don't really know if it's much better and it's certainly not that convenient) is to use mozilla firefox browser to search with duck duck go which seems to pull from apple maps. This way, I can find the business from looking at the map and copy the name or address and then try and use my preferred app to navigate to it (organicstreetmaps preferably, but I'd use OSMand if I had to).

    I definitely like the idea of contributing to the open street maps project which osmand as well as organicstreetmaps both pull from. I just don't have a lot of time for that right now. Hopefully that will change over time.

    I don't quite understand how to do much of what you mentioned. My technical level with most of that is quite a few steps lower.

    My phone isn't rooted yet, but to me, getting all of this in order to go from steps 2 to 3 is quite a bit of effort. I feel like there should be an easier way, which would be more ideal and also be able to solve this issue.

    I would honestly rather cut google out completely and use almost any other method even if that means reaching out to people in real life.

    Thank you.

  • Hulkoff was pretty cool, very artistic too (I enjoyed the video I watched. Holy Locust was definitely a bit more folksy, I kind of liked it too.

  • Mozillas petition to get an answer from Microsoft, is it using your data to train its AI?

  • ok, that's cool. I'm tracking now, just wasn't familiar with the acronym. I could definitely see the benefit of being able to hotswap between environments like that. I'll have to remember that If I get to a point where I can dive into it fully.
