omapsapp VS trekarta

There's a lot of discussion about bicycle routing improvements, as well as displaying alternate routes. I expect these conversations to be continued in CoMaps, so your input is valued and welcome there! https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/9748

https://github.com/mapsme/omim/ was forked in December 2020, with all new changes up to the last commit of Apr 28, 2021 merged into https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/ later. MAPS.ME is alive, but they publish the source code anymore since that.

Not exactly sure what you mean. My understanding is Maps.me started trying to extract value from users (via the mentioned means) and that Organic Maps [0], took an old open-licensed fork of maps.me from before Maps.me went bad.

I currently use organicmaps.app as a nice offline back up for my traveling. I don't know how this current drama impacts organicmaps. I didn't realize that maps.me was also a contributor to organicmaps.

Organic maps for me too

https://organicmaps.app/

Organic Maps is the ultimate companion app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists:

Detailed offline maps with places that don't exist on other maps, thanks to OpenStreetMap

Cycling routes, hiking trails, and walking paths

Contour lines, elevation profiles, peaks, and slopes

Turn-by-turn walking, cycling, and car navigation with voice guidance and Android Auto

Fast offline search on the map

Export/import bookmarks in KML/KMZ, import GPX

Dark Mode to protect your eyes

Countries and regions don't take a lot of space

Free and open-source

> its UI is not up to my personal standard

Have you tried https://organicmaps.app/? It has the same data source, but ui is cleaner.

I wonder if it will work on https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps

So far two similar solutions I tested crapped out on non-ASCII characters. Because Python's UTF-8 decoder is quite strict about it.

https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/1160 would be a good starting point.

I really like Trekarta.

This. The "nature" spots marked with a tree are sometimes nice to camp if you are in quiet areas. I also find the app Trekarta very useful because you can find shelter, drinking water fountains, and picnic areas markes on the map. It works offline, you just have download the maps first. I found it to be very precise and I have discovered many small trails, water points, and interesting places thanks to it.
