• Real-Time Air Quality Index Visual Map

  All these third-parties are just using limited APIs from other networks and sometimes only one source like the US government network which has very few sensors very far away from most people. Other network maps: https://google.com/maps/@/data=!5m1!1e9 https://www.airnow.gov/ https://map.purpleair.com/ https://map.airgradient.com/ https://www.iqair.com/air-quality-map https://data.usatoday.com/fires/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Got my first 5k in Germany today in a duel! - probably my quickest 5k that isn't a landmark or that I haven't been to myself at less than 30s as I got distracted by the weird high res german signs outside the frame.

• WTH is wrong with my home network! Please help me troubleshoot!

  Most Bizzare of all, even using Google's DNS, I can't resolve "maps.google.com" or "news.bbc.co.uk" on the network... Yet I CAN resolve "google.com/maps" and "bbc.co.uk/news". Source: about 1 year ago

• 2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps

  There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/ I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands

  I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Quairading shire erects signs telling travellers to ignore Google Maps

  Https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Osmapp – A Universal OpenStreetMap App

  Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?

  Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data. https://organicmaps.app/ Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
