Yes that is typically, because there a lot of mappers which are contributing to OpenStreetMap by aerial imagery. Thanks to you that you add stuff from places which you know by yourself. This is very valuable.
Exactly. OpenStreetMap has a big community which is contributing. And every change can be reviewed. Or reverted if its wrong. In the changeset there should also be a source tag like “aerial imagery”, the Editor which was used and also which background imagery was used during edit. For example Bing Maps allows their high resolution imagery to be used for OpenStreetMap.
cool. Would be great if some Linux Distributions would add it to their packages
You can try to send geo URI instead. Most messangers support them.
Example: geo:52.51632,13.37731?z=19
Good idea regarding USB debugging. Never did this before. Probably need a quiet weekend to dig into this.
Thanks for sharing. I deleted all Add-Ons but it only slightly decreased.
Have 0 bookmarks and 0 tabs open. I don’t even use Fennec much. Only as second browser next to mull
I searched the settings but find nothing regarding studies.
History of used websites.
And it seems like Fennec does not even support export of passwords. I dont want to share them with Mozilla… too afraid of a data leak
Interesting theory. I deleted all Add-Ons. App Size was reduzed from 14.81 GB to 14.77 GB.
Not sure if they can still store someting which was not deleted with removal.
In settings menu i already deleted:
App Info now gives me:
Yes. I cleared cache but that did not reduce the stotage size
Yes, what we need is the other way arrround! Convert Google Maps Links to OpenStreetMap.org without having to have the Google Maps App.
Nevertheless great that geo-urls are created. This is super helpfull since its supported by OsmAnd, OrganicMaps and much more.
Additionally it would be helpfull if this App registers itself to receive openstreetmap.org and osm.org URLs, so you can just share a link with it instead of copy&paste
PS: the App from F-Droid produces wrong URLs for me like https://openstreetmap/?mlat=0.0&mlon=0.0 ( i provided https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=5/52.270/11.602)
Clear Cache did not help unfortunately. I also tried to clean cache within Fennec from the settings menue.
Regarding Mull. I am using Mull, too. Mull is “only” using 1.31 GB.
I had the feeling the author is meaning rogue in a positive way here. At least the article sounds quite positive and impressed about that project.
This seems like some kickoff post for some work which will maybe done.
I hardly believe that OpenStreetMap.org will deliver vector maps in 2024 by default when so far we not even saw a concept or demo.
Vector Graphics do not only have advantages, but can also cause difficult performance or rendering problems.
Features like clickable POIs are not dependent of vector graphics but need a whole different data distribution concept in backend.
I am using Osmand for adding POI nodes (https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.osmand.plus/)
I wish OsmFocus Reborn would add some editing features. (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.pfiers.osmfocus/) It already allows custom background maps.
That is not true. F-Droid does not change App Source Code.
Propriety software is just not allowed for Apps which are in F-Droid. Therefore all Apps in F-Droid are free open source.
Additional F-Droid marks unwanted features such as ads and tracking as Anti-Features. (https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/) Therefore App developers try to avoid these.
F-Droid does not alter the App Software, therefore they cannot patching it out.
My suggestion:
