• I honestly don't like using most Openstreetmap websites: slow, clunky. Is there a better way to do this faster on my own desktop?

  KDE Marble might be able to do it. Looks like it can open some OSM file type at least. Source: 12 months ago

• Are there any Foss globe apps?

  Marble. It's a KDE app, and it looks very similar to the Google Earth app. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Seeking recommendation: best GIS for viewing KML streamed from external data sources

  The system is intended to receive streaming data with different sensitivity labels and automatically create views/layers that the user is authorized to access. I'm leaning toward a customized version of KDE Marble (https://marble.kde.org/), which makes sense because it's open source and I'm going to need to make it PitBull-aware with the PitBull SDK. But I can still decide at this point between Marble and... Source: about 2 years ago

• Does "provide touch id to install" mean any amount of signature checking is skipped?

• Does "provide touch id to install" mean any amount of signature checking is skipped?

  I'll reveal that it was "Marble". I thought signing was a thing outside of the Apple store too. I.E. a package can _come with_ a signature or not, even when downloaded outside of the Apple store. I've whitelist installs with the "this one is not signed" intervention in System Preferences. I've also had off-store downloads that did not require that intervention. I believe in the latter case they are signed. Source: over 2 years ago

  > Google maps and Waze does not allow for setting vehicle height As a side note, OsmAnd supports setting vehicle height* and has support for multiple vehicles/routing profiles: https://osmand.net *: and weight, width, and length. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Organic Maps is a free Android and iOS offline maps app for travelers

  How does it compare to OsmAnd? https://osmand.net. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• "I'm in this picture and I don't like it"

  OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the...

• WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight

  When I am on a flight and the flight does not provide the flight information, I am using the OsmAnd, https://osmand.net/, to monitor the flight altitude, speed and direction. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Improving your online privacy: An update

  Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.
