• In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

  Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and "free"), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

  Don't bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There's better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

  Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).

• Cycling to the New Forest

  Have you tried looking at https://www.opencyclemap.org/ or something like komoot.com? OCM will show you the cycle routes around (as /u/CaptRik says, the 236 national cycle route will take you there - looks to be a simple route), and Komoot can do a route plan for you between two points which you can follow in an app and also shows a breakdown of what type of surface and road you'll be on. For your route, it's... Source: 11 months ago

• First time cycle route planning -- what's your go to?

  I usually use komoot (komoot.com, but there's also an app). IIRC it's paid, if you want the maps offline (can be bought for $10 on sale, otherwise $30). Do note that not all countries are supported, so best to check this out first.. Source: 11 months ago

• Tips for Cycling to work in Oxford? (Headington)

  Got any friends that cycle? See if you can borrow a bike and go for a ride with one of them for an hour or two one evening - just get used to being on the road, how to signal, etc. If you're already comfy on a bike then it'll come really easy, and your fitness will build surprisingly fast too. Also maybe have a look on something like Komoot to check out possibly routes, Oxford has a surprising amount of little... Source: 11 months ago

• Arc not supporting WebGL?

  Just downloaded Arc, very interesting, excited to try this new experience. I use komoot.com a lot to plan my bike rides, but when I opened it in Arc, it seems like it cannot render the map section because of Komoot not being able to access WebGL. Did anyone experience similar problems, even with other websites? Source: 12 months ago

• Is there a better alternative to google maps for cycling?

  You can use other route finder like strava.com , komoot.com, ridewithgps.com. Source: about 1 year ago
