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.

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

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

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

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

[-] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago
