I just want it to keep my "north is up" setting instead of defaulting to rotating the map whenever I start a route...
Make a pull request! Study how to implement and then submit the change. The power of open source is yours!
That’s nice and I agree, but time is a serious constraint.
You can always open a bounty for it on one of the software bounty websites then. No particular reason you need to do it yourself.
ooo nice, does github or similar things have a feature to do this?
"Opening a bounty" is a more reasonble first response to "I am missing feature X in this FOSS project". It's great that I can fork and do what ever I want with the code, but not many people have the knowledge, time, intererest or stake (in a perticular project) to learn the code base and write a missing feature.
The irony of purity testing my intended positive comment because you mistook it for a purity test is surely lost on you, but I got a chuckle out of it so thanks.
I just think the so often repeated sentiment "FOSS, do it yourself" is stupid but I didn't want to be rude.
Yeah... I'll get right on that.
CoMaps making Codeberg more popular will help pay the part-timer who is only making 12k a year. Hopefully the increased traffic will help them gain an extra 14k a year since it costs 26.6k a year to live in Berlin.
The only issue I had is that it sent me down a bridge that's only open for certain hours at a time when it was closed, but that's quite the edge case.
Unfortunately, navigation has lots of such edge cases. I'm trying to find an alternative to Google Maps, but it just handles these cases the best. Even paid navigation app focused on the local market, NaviExpert, directed me through a road accessible to residents only
I've been very happy using Waze, but that's Google owned so not very different from GM
Was this Vancouver lmao

I used it for the first time today and didn’t have any issues! Including a re-route from a missed exit.
I love it tbh. It's clean and straightforward and very light on battery. Would use it way more if there weren't so many construction sites around where I live (road blocks are not currently considered by navigation)

What's the reason for forking from Organic Maps ?
Essentially it's completely community driven, and may diverge further in then future. This and the about us page explains some of it.
