Cartes VS ShellNewHandler

• Beautiful UI Design
  Cartes offers a visually appealing and modern user interface for exploring maps and geographic data, making it pleasant and intuitive to use compared to many traditional mapping tools.
• Open Source
  Cartes is an open-source project, allowing developers to inspect the code, contribute improvements, and adapt it for their own purposes, fostering transparency and community collaboration.
• French Transit and Mobility Focus
  The app provides strong coverage of French transportation options including cycling, walking, and public transit, making it a useful tool for planning multimodal journeys in France.
• Privacy-Friendly
  As an alternative to major commercial mapping services like Google Maps, Cartes takes a more privacy-conscious approach, reducing user tracking and data collection compared to big tech alternatives.
• OpenStreetMap Integration
  Cartes leverages OpenStreetMap data, benefiting from the extensive community-maintained geographic database while providing a more user-friendly interface on top of it.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Global Coverage
  Cartes is primarily focused on France, so its features, transit data, and detailed information may be significantly less comprehensive or useful for users in other countries or regions.
• Smaller Community and Ecosystem
  Compared to established mapping platforms like Google Maps or Apple Maps, Cartes has a much smaller user base and developer community, which can mean fewer integrations, plugins, and third-party support.
• Feature Gaps Compared to Major Platforms
  Cartes may lack some advanced features that users expect from mature mapping platforms, such as Street View, detailed business information, real-time traffic updates, or comprehensive reviews and ratings.
• Potential Data Accuracy Issues
  Since it relies on OpenStreetMap data, some locations may have outdated or incomplete information, particularly in less actively maintained areas, leading to occasional inaccuracies.
• Still in Active Development
  As a relatively newer project, Cartes may have bugs, missing features, or stability issues that more established mapping services have already resolved, which could affect the user experience.

• One of the Greatest Inventions in the History of Human Transport

  Well he'd be proud to see the extend of the fixed routes network in France today : https://cartes.app/?style=transports#6.32/47.811/2.097 Each blue polygon is a network. Zoom to see the lines. Of course we should do way better, and unify... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta

  Https://cartes.app is trying to do this. OsmAnd is quite usable as well. For navigation there's Magic Earth (can route around traffic jams), TomTom, and Scenic. OsmAnd can also do routing. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta

  For the web, I personally like https://osmapps.org https://cartes.app I can also recommend. Both projects have a similar goal, to offer a more useful UI around using an OSM based map. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
