• Bridges in the US are threaten by truck drivers relying on GPS meant for cars

  > 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 / 3 months 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 / 4 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 / 9 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.

• Anybody else see that plane being escorted by two fighter jets a few minute ago?

  The two big ones I know of are adsbexchange.com and asdb.fi. Source: 12 months ago

• Why are the main runways at PHL named 9 / 27, when that isn't their orientation?

  This morning, the wind is out of the east, and aircraft are landing on 9R and taking off from 9L. If you follow them on adsbexchange.com, it shows their track to be about 75°. Source: about 1 year ago

• Blackhawks above USS Gerald Ford when she is heading to the English Channel together with other 6th fleetships

  It would be nice if next to the current Open Street Map also map.openseamap.org/ would be available in adsbexchange.com When you zoom in enough, ships are visible and it is free. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bees on the Winglet

• Lots of activity in the sky around Fife

  Adsbexchange.com has some really neat filters on their map page, which show up some interesting and unexpected flight features. Clicking 'U' at the top filters out all non military flights, clicking on the layers icon then reveals an option to see oddities such as UK radar corridors and UK 'AWACS' orbits.
