What did GitHub do?

for now, I’ve landed on a fork of openboard in combination with sayboard for voice to text functionality. I’m excited to see what’s to come for this project, as well as other similar ones. Always looking for the next best thing.

So, is this a good thing or bad thing? Mozilla good, right?

Good to know, thanks.

See, I’ve been having some issues with OsmAnd+

I’ll give the GMaps WV app a try. Hopefully osmand+ or organicstreetmaps will get so good that even this workaround won’t be necessary anymore.

Thanks for the recommendations.

That’s an incredible looking slab, thanks for the recommendation!

why, how come you don’t recommend the dell?

I’m interested in 2in1 laptops. Seperately, I’m also interested in tablets that could serve similar functionalities.

You badass!!

Organic maps was a really happy find for me. I like it WAY better than osmand (even though I do like that one on principal). The look/functionality of it are damn near top notch. A few refinements here and there and it will be something truly special in my opinion.

‘wraps google maps in a webview. Can be very privacy firendly depending on the browser your system uses as it’s webview’

so it like will contain it or something then? I typically try to use firefox for everything. I’ve run into the webview version of google maps a few times, but I wouldn’t think it was any more secure to use that version.

Calling the places would certainly be more convenient than actually going in, that’s for sure!

you know

Are those still a thing?

Serious question, I haven’t used them in a very long time. Can they be (legitimately) sourced online, or will I need to go to a library/store to source the information?

It’s not a problem either way, but it would be good to know these things anyway.

^go full analog with it. Got it.

I know that I can talk to people if I need to, but a lot of times I really don’t want to. Sometimes that isn’t (immediately) an option either. Still solid advice though, I concur.

One workaround that I have found (though, ultimately I don’t really know if it’s much better and it’s certainly not that convenient) is to use mozilla firefox browser to search with duck duck go which seems to pull from apple maps. This way, I can find the business from looking at the map and copy the name or address and then try and use my preferred app to navigate to it (organicstreetmaps preferably, but I’d use OSMand if I had to).

I definitely like the idea of contributing to the open street maps project which osmand as well as organicstreetmaps both pull from. I just don’t have a lot of time for that right now. Hopefully that will change over time.

I don’t quite understand how to do much of what you mentioned. My technical level with most of that is quite a few steps lower.

My phone isn’t rooted yet, but to me, getting all of this in order to go from steps 2 to 3 is quite a bit of effort. I feel like there should be an easier way, which would be more ideal and also be able to solve this issue.

I would honestly rather cut google out completely and use almost any other method even if that means reaching out to people in real life.

Thank you.

Using pinch zooming while driving seems impractical. Easier to just hit a button.

So, I just checked under the app information in Android. The location permission was turned on. I disabled it, and started the app up and it seems to work fine.

I like my Garmin gps watch, though they have gotten what i would consider too expensive…
