Apk Link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk

Note: If you don't want to deal with stuff like this, I recommend you download and use it from F-Droid client or Accrescent AppStore.

Update: The app returned to the App Store.

I have been happily using OsmAnd while traveling outside my coverage area. Anybody have pros or cons of each of these? I just downloaded this one and didn't really like that it automatically began downloading 250 megabytes of my localish region. In some places that would eat up my entire data package. I would rather it asked.

You can download maps for offline use just like in OsmAnd. I used OsmAnd before but the UI has become sooo sluggish I switched over to OM

Not showing up in my f-droid either

[-] confi@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 11 months ago

Same for me, I had to enable Other-antifeatures in F-droid settings.

[-] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 6 points 11 months ago

Thanks, enabling anti-fearures worked.

[-] ModerateImprovement@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Check again.

[-] KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I had to allow other anti features.

Probably the map has 18+ places and no decent way to stop children from seeing them?

I don't know if Google has some API to indicate when the app runs from a child/family link managed account?

If so, then I suppose the Organic Maps dev could block some building categories from showing up (ex: Bars, Stripclub)?

I installed it from fdroid, is there a difference between play store and fdroid version?

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

I think there is no android auto due no play services

[-] guilhermegnzaga@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 11 months ago

There goes another useful tool that has been made inaccessible for most of the common users.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Google is like China these days.

[-] LedzMx@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

I can install it at this moment, so I think it was already fixed

EEE

there's !organicmaps@sopuli.xyz but it's pretty much dead

Use Obtainium, Add App, paste this URL... https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps

No Play store or Fdroid BS.

I like f droid and currently using droidify. On f-droid you have to enable "anti-features" and it's not a bad feature in my opinion. It discloses if it's using non free services.

Problem is the FDroid version doesn't work with Android Auto iirc
