Cartes is probably the closest thing that I’ve found (besides Apple Maps or Bing Maps).
- You can share links with anyone, and they don’t need a particular app to open it.
- The interface will be familiar to Google maps users.
- It supports leaving reviews for locations.
- It will pull up Wikipedia information and photos if any have been uploaded to Wikimedia or Panoramax.
- It’s really good for public transit routing.
- It’s okay for planning driving routes, but for turn by turn directions you’ll want to use CoMaps (which Cartes has a link to open up the route there).
Interesting. I really need one that does public transit.
Funny how this one has random snippets of French in the UI.
It’s a French project, I guess it’s translated in French before English. Non-English speakers are used to seeing snippets of English in translated UIs but I understand the other way around is unusual
Clearly the French have their priorities straight.
Croissants clearly need to be before any meager restaurant or coffee shop.
I’ve been using CoMaps for a while as my only map app and I’m very happy with it.
My main issue with it is that often it cannot find the street/city I’m searching. That’s why I don’t use it all the time.
Contributing to OSM is the best way to give yourself and others freedom from Google. It’s very easy to do through StreetComplete, which is a gamified system that updates the map as people complete quests.
The city exist on the map, it’s the search that doesn’t find. Not sure what I could do in that case.
It can’t find the entire city on the map, even though it’s on the map? I’ve never experienced that, I’m not sure how that’s possible.
He said that you can find the city on the MAP but not when SEARCHING for it on the SEARCH BAR
