I don’t recommend Google Maps anymore. It’s a really shitty map. I’ve been reporting bugs for ages and they never fix them. Also the GPS is really terrible, it sets the road full of constant turns and forces you to drive on small narrow internal roads instead of normal open roads. The localisation option sucks too, it keeps showing me that I’m somewhere else and my position is always a few metres off and it’s so delayed that you don’t know if you’ve made a good turn or not unless you wait like half a minute. Also the glitches in the map, missing locations, blurry photos, random photos swapped around and extreme inconsistencies. It’s crazy that this shit is still being used. I bought a dedicated GPS for a car and in my phone and PC, I use OpenStreetMaps or its forks.
Why is anyone using twitter anyway? Bring back blog post press releases

One of my favorite lines from early on in trumps rise to cult leader was “Conservatives would let Trump shit in their mouth just to watch liberals become disgusted”
I always heard it “…as long as a liberal had to smell it.”
Yeah you’re right, I couldn’t remember the exact wording only the general sentiment, so i went with something close enough lol
They proved that by wearing nappies…
I am so glad that I switched our app over to OSM last year.

Most of them can’t even place their own damn country on a map.
If this was a different admin, it was an international agreement and the name change was to refer to the the continent, I’d be on board. As it stands, this looks like the sort of BS power play the CCP does with the South China Sea.

i think mexico should name gulf of california to gulf of mexico
Trump would be okay with that because it’s still a fuck you to the left coast.
You mean West coast?
I mean, if I’m facing south, the left coast is the East coast.
Conservatives like to call the West Coast the left coast. It’s their little way of making fun of progressive states.
I mean, we all know Canadians see things wrong :P
Oh you got me good eh?
Reminds me a lot of after 9/11 when they tried to change French Fries to Freedom fries. That stuck about as well as water on teflon.
Anytime I hear someone complain about cancel culture I bring up freedom fries.
The Left: its called an Allow List now, you racists! The Right: its called the Gulf of America, you commies!
Jesus, we’re pathetic.
One is propaganda made up by right wing nerds and one is the president of fucking america if you didnt catch how silly you were being right now
Nobody calls it that though. No one who is actually left-wing thought that calling them blacklist / white list was offensive.
Is this another of those things where someone wrote some mild Substack post about “maybe the phrase black list does imply black = bad” that maybe five people read before conservatives decided that it represents the ideological position of all leftists?
Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi
I support this.
But we should probably at least have a conversation with Mexico about it, since something like half of their country borders it. IDK, I failed geography.
Time to ditch Maps then.
Open Street Maps needs more contributors!
Been playing the StreetComplete game, which is very much Pokemon Go but helping OSM data.
Whoa, I did not know that existed. Time to give OSM some loving back.
OSM unfortunately doesn’t seem public transit friendly at all. I did a quick glance over some of the documentation and it mentioned:
Whilst OpenStreetMap is probably not the place for full timetable information, adding information about public transport infrastructure and services to the map means that we can provide basic routing services.
Timetables are a must if you realistically want to use it for public transit. Currently it just tells me to walk to my destination for an hour and a half if I select public transportation. This is the main thing keeping me from using OSM.
Well, the ball is in the court of the public transport agencies, then! While OpenStreetMap cannot be expected to accept any and all kind of geographic data imaginable, OSM is meant to serve map data that can supplement other data sources and services.
I’m in Finland, and there’s at least a couple of Web services that do long distance bus/rail/plane route planning, all using OSM. Our municipal bus schedule service, mobile app and the bus stop displays have been using OSM for over a decade.
Awesome! That’ll give me something to do on my runs.
Hey great idea, is there an open street maps app?
I found the StreetComplete one here
