Good direction EU.
Also, CoMaps is an excellent alternative choice.
Wait, the title confused you. The exact changlog is:
EU users can set Organic Maps as the default navigation app in iOS Settings → Apps → Default Apps → Navigation
My apologies for that I just copy-pasted the title from the original post.
If you like Organic Maps, I also recommend CoMaps, the community fork: https://www.comaps.app/
I prefer CoMaps because:
- CoMaps supports Panoramax Street Views, whereas Organic Maps doesn’t.
- CoMaps code is on Codeberg, not on Microsoft like Organic Maps.
Cool
I personally switched to Comaps but it is good that Organic maps is an option
Does anybody has use organic maps in a daily usage? Would you recommend it?
…it depends.
If you need to get to the airport and must know if a road has been recently re-routed or that traffic is clear in order to make your flight, no (unless there is a live traffic feature I have to seen yet?..)
If you’re well-being isn’t dependant on avoiding minor disruptions, then absolutely!
I absolutely use it as a daily system and contribute to the network when I notice something is missing.
It’s great for cyclists, hikers and when in a new city. It’s also good for in-car navigation, but no traffic support yet.
Google Maps has better navigation, but Comaps and OM have better management of bookmarking places. The search on Comaps sucks so I mainly use my bookmarks for stuff. Huge benefit is being able to more easily export that data for use in Emacs Orgmode, as with other log files, but that’s kinda complicated
That’s depends, what’s your primary mode of travel?
I’d love to be able to break free from The Goog so I tried it, but it doesn’t appear to reroute based on live traffic which is a must-have for my commute.
It’d probably be far better if you commuted in a less traffic-sensitive way, e.g. on foot or by bike, though.
Well, yesterday I visited the contributors pages on github(both of OrganicMaps and the mirror of CoMaps), I could not be sure CoMaps has an enough number of maintainers.
