  OrganicMaps rolled their own 'data license' for the actual map files: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/master/DATA_...

  Plus the code that's necessary to generate the map files that OM relies on is no longer openly published. So while true that the actual app code is open source, you can't use it without relying on their proprietary map files.

• A community-led fork of Organic Maps

  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

• Organic Maps Turns 4: The Privacy-Focused Alternative to Google Maps

  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.

• Maps.me co-founder tries to close down Organic Maps open-source fork
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Dec 2024

  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.
