Another +1 for Mapcomplete.org . sure it’s not in the app store, but you can easily add it as a web app ‘add to homescreen’ through safari

I just stumbled across this routing profile for the osmand app, maybe this also helps(?) https://github.com/LorenzoStucchi/Wheelchair-OsmAnd

And keep in mind: it’s two evil companies BUT the images they’re hosting are all CC-BY-SA licensed. So you can do a bunch of things with them and none of those companies can/will stop you.

I think this is different from the usual “big evil company bad, locking users in” mentality that we have around a lot of things like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc…

Atleast here the ‘content’ is open and available to use.

(I still think it’s good to have our own servers, fyi)

• in Mapilio’s defense, they only launched their integration this month. It might take some time to get up to the same level
• Mapillary had a whole system for verifying AI detections but that went away when Meta took over and basically forced Mapillary to revamp their entire server infra.
  The tool still exists but doesn’t work because it would have to be modified to use the new api.
  (I’m in contact with Mapillary’s people with a potential solution)

Google Maps: you have to pay to use their images
Mapillary: sure it’s Facebook BUT all the images are just regular CC-BY-SA license… so you can do the normal CC-BY-SA things you want with them… including downloading them and hosting them somewhere else even.
Sure Facebook is evil, but in this department that’s not a problem…

*yet
it’s being developed by OSM FR. So it’s DEF going to get implemented into osm tools down the lines. Geovisio is pretty barebones atm.
But the idea is similar to lemmy and mastodon and other federated services. Instead of having one giant server like mapillary, each community can have it’s own server and in the future they could federate together.

i mean I get… but… the images are still CC-BY-SA, if anything: since the met takeover you’re allowed to use the images commercially without any license. That wasn’t the case before.
i’m not pro meta. But I don’t think they’re doing anything evil in this department…

There is now an open source voice input you can install that works with open keyboard, Which as Louis rossman says in his video is actually a lot better than gboard’s
