jayfell<a href="https://kolektiva.social/@Hex" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Hex</a> You could try <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/MagicEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MagicEarth</a> maps, which like <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a>, uses OSM. It does show bus lines and stops and can be used without internet for routes. Glad you and family are OK.

hexWe were traveling out of Barcelona when the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SpainBlackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpainBlackout</a> hit. We were actually waiting in line for the train. Power went out and cell service cut around noon. I was able to get wifi from a nearby hotel (I hope room 123 doesn't mind). I found an outage map for the city, but the map was entirely down. I overheard someone say it was national and found an article about that, but there really wasn't any info yet.After waiting for a while with no info, the train station was evacuated. My partner found a route by bus. So we took our kids and bags and started walking. Finding the right stop was challenging. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> doesn't seem to have bus lines and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CityMapper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CityMapper</a> doesn't do great offline. The kids don't sleep well when traveling, so this was all compounded by several days of sleep deprivation.Navigatng was difficult. We managed to find a hotel with a generator who let us use their wifi to update our maps.So we traveled across the city. Trafic lights seemed to be the only things with power, though there were places those didn't work. Metro and tram were down. There seemed to be exra buses, all of them packed. The roads were packed with cars.It wasn't posible to get a regional bus ticket since the ticket machines were all down. The bus we were looking for didn't seem to actually exist and none of the bus drivers could answer questions. My spanish is not great and I didn't focus a lot on improving it since I'm already overwhelmed with learning dutch.After not being able to find the bus for a while, we were almost going to head back to the hotel and ask for a room. Then the power came back on. We got a regional bus ticket. After waiting for another hour or so, the bus never came. We went back to the hotel and were able to get a room. Wifi at the hotel didn't work after power came back, cell service was still down. Duo is mad at me.I have been off my disaster prep game for a bit, and was especially off while traveling. I have some notes... 1. Always have cash. 2. Download maps in advance (you can do this for google maps also, but you can't route without internet). 3. Download translation languages in advance. 4. Always have extra water and snacks. 5. Pack light so you don't have to haul massive amounts of luggage everywhere.Traveling with kids is hard under normal conditions. It's funny, I'm actually more calm in a crisis. Our kids did really well despite walking for hours around Barcelona (or perhaps because of it).It's interesting how the city prioritized cars by prioritizing power to traffic lights, but that just clogged everything with cars and made bus travel harder. The metro is generally better, imho, in Barcelona because it doesn't have the car problem. Barcelona appears to be deeply unprepared for actual emergencies. A lot of cities are.This is a good reminder that solar power and distributed grids are really important. Dedicated power to mass transit like trains and metro would help evacuate the city. Better bike infrastructure makes it easier to get around when cars clog the streets. I can see how much work is being done in this area, but there's a lot of room to improve. Cars are basically the worst solution for several reasons, including that they caused the problem in the first place. I hope Europe learns from this and continues to move towards greater resiliency. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> is going to make things like this happen more often, and centralization makes small disasters larger and makes disaster response slower. Deploying a bunch of cops is not a solution to anything.

cpm<a href="https://spore.social/tags/organicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organicMaps</a> Good Day OrganicMaps folks!Still don't have a good fix on this wonderful app.From what I'm reading (and trying to do), it *seems* I cannot pre-plan routing.IE: I must *be* -physically- at a location in order to route (via bicycle, in my use-case) to another location.Is this actually the case?

CapeTaunUso Organic Maps da Android, ma mi manda in bestia il fatto che non riesco a dirgli che ho un pass per passare in ZTL e rischio che mi faccia fare dei giri allucinanti quando non sto attenta al percorso pianificato.

Orosus<a href="https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> Nice! Looking forward to see this city tour maps in <a href="https://masto.es/tags/organicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organicMaps</a> app! But, is there any chance of having also city public transport lines? I see there is a metro layer in some cities but other transports like bus/tram are not visible, but in <a href="https://masto.es/tags/openstreetmaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openstreetmaps</a> web version, they are available.

HelmutIch muss doch schneller als geplant von Apple Karten Abschied nehmen. Die Einträge bei den POIs stimmen meistens nicht (die Firmen hegen hier gar kein Interesse), das Gemisch aus Reiseführer und Mediathek nervt, Favoriten lassen sich nicht mehr nach Name oder Entfernung sortieren (ist nur mehr zufällig), oftmals sorgen die Routenvorschläge als Fussgänger für Umwege, es lässt sich noch immer nichts sichern / exportieren / importieren und so weiter und so fort. Ich werde mich wohl doch mit der etwas überladenen Kartenanzeige von Organic Maps / OpenStreetMaps anfreunden. Die POIs sind viel besser, die Sammlungen / Listen übersichtlich und es gibt Import / Export. Und wie sich die Fussgänger-Navigation im Alltag schlägt, wird sich in den nächsten Wochen zeigen. Darüber hinaus ist Organic Maps Nicht-US, es gibt kein Tracking und ich kann bei Interesse aktiv zur Verbesserungen der POIs beitragen. <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/organicmaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#organicmaps</a>

liferstateEvery other mapping app can manage a "north is up" orientation, but as far as I can tell this app cannot, and I did a lot of messing around with app settings in the process. It's also hit or miss at being able to pinpoint a location even when given a street address. Not to mention that it took me a few tries just to figure out how to make it give me point to point directions (which only sometimes conform to an average person's route).2/2 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oss</a>

liferstateI ditched Google Maps for Organic Maps and all I have to say is if I can't get this app to work, it is under no circumstances appropriate for normies. The last time I mentioned this on here I was informed that I could simply write any new feature I wanted because FOSS. I am not a programmer and I shouldn't have to be one in order to have an app that does what it claims to do.1/2<a href="https://mas.to/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/oss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oss</a>

Charlotte AtenI was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (<a href="https://organicmaps.app/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://organicmaps.app/</a>) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal. 2) It seems like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fossify</a> Notes (<a href="https://www.fossify.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fossify.org/</a>).
