• Windy.com: global weather website with live filters

  It is based on mapy.cz [1] - Outdoor layer. It is mostly OSM based (plus lot of their own data for Czechia and Slovakia). Mapy.cz belongs to same guy, who runs Windy (Ivo Lukačovič [2]). IMHO it is best readable map on the internet and when I am used to it, I cant find anything on Google Maps. [1] https://en.mapy.cz. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What are these marks in the Czech Republic?

  As many people pointed out, those are hiking marks. What I didn't see anyone mention is that when you go on en.mapy.cz you can turn on "outdoor map" with all the hiking trails. The colour of the trail in map matches their specific colour on the tree/pole etc... Great way to plan your trip! Source: 10 months ago

• I would like some travel advice

  You don't have to worry about unsafe places or anything like that - just be careful about tourists traps in Prague - use only ATMs from proper banks, try to avoid small corner shops in the city center as they are overpriced etc. Check honest guide prague on youtube for more information. Use this website for public transport https://idos.idnes.cz/en/vlakyautobusymhdvse/spojeni/ you can find all possible connections... Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for recommendations for sunset spots and day trips from Brno

  Btw. https://en.mapy.cz/ with outdoor layer are much better then google maps. Source: 11 months ago

• Schutzhütte (interactive) maps?

  You can use a service like en.mapy.cz to display it. If you enter "Schutzdach" or "Tourist shelter" there, you should get a pretty comprehensive map of locations. Source: 12 months 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
