Maybe ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I wish OM was a little better in terms of places + db updates

Fanboy of what?

Apple is not better than Google btw

Its a great app but has some problems I can’t just ignore, the ones mentioned above are what I need and I can’t get it working

I use Organic Map and both my locations are on the site and if I open the location through the app, I see it but searching lead to no results. No idea why, maybe I can see them because I’m the author?

That’s an Organic Maps problem, they only update the OSM database once a month, and you have to click the update button manually when they do so.

I thought was more. But it’s up to date and I still can’t see the place I uploaded more than 1 month ago, sadly.

Eh I strongly prefer FOSS apps, OrganicMap was a cool project, can’t find a Google maps alternative FOSS and reliable

They did after 2 weeks of back and forth with them “this is a you issue not ours” while it’s the other way around

I don’t care about ads, I block them since 2020 and everyone should do that, period. Apple is a no go for the reason I said below

Apple is the only alternative.

Nah. Fuck Apple! I know it may be too much but they’re dead to me after I bought AN OFFICIAL REFURBISHED Apple device for my dad (old had problems) and received it with a motherboard problem (?), it couldn’t read the sim for more than 1 hour straight. Contacted support multiple times and “Try this useless troubleshooting steps you already tried countless times” or "The sim is ruined so it doesn’t touch the sim pins correctly (or some bs like that) " or “It’s your carrier” or “From our remote tests, the phone works perfectly” or other Apple shit I forgot. After my last call I said “You either take my phone and check it or refund me”, they took it to check if was the phone, got it back ~2 days later FUCKING WORKING as it should. I guess was really the sim, not the phone 🤔🤔

The worst part is: They didn’t even care to give me something in return for the trouble! No, not money but they could’ve extended my warranty for a month or 2 as an apology but “Nah, we can’t. Fuck you now”

Ooh I would LOVE to do it and I did that with 2 places but I don’t like:

1. The fact it doesn’t show you the best match of your search based on distance by your location (or is because)
2. It doesn’t show the 2 places I sent ~1 month ago or they’re hard to find (available on site, not on organic maps)

That’s where I draw the line, no more Google hardware or software purchases. Zero. I’m sure as fuck not buying a Pixel, or buying anything through Google’s marketplace

Refurbished? I get what you mean but at the same time you can still have a Google phone without paying Google. That’s what I did with my Pixel 8 and I’m happy with it, I kinda miss a few features of my Samsung phone but nothing crazy (face unlock and auto unlock if pin is correct)

Edit: Uh I just read the second half 🤦‍♂️ I don’t really see the problem here

I prefer OrganicMap. Free and Open source made with the help of the community. Your suggestion is only play store and as a degoogled user I don’t have access to it (Aurora store, I know but still). Not sure which one is better in terms of UI/UX but the fact It’s not open source is a no go for me
