Magic Earth works really great for me :)
But why line go down?!
This is the last product I still make sacrifice to keep it working on my degoogled devices, because lets be honest, this is the best ("free") GPS there is out there. I've tried so many others but nothing comes close. I dunno what I'll do if (when) they launch this kind of crap here...
I suspect they were already doing this just to populate data. There are times I got sent on god-forsaken routes and persistently had the route I had selected overwritten with new ones. At least this tells you what it is and lets you choose.
I had downloaded OsmAnd but forgot about it. After reading this post, I fired it up. It took a minute to download a map for my area. It returned a map of Kansas. I'm in Texas 🤔 I guess I gotta fix that somehow.
Did you allow it to access your location? Is your location already fixed? Are you behind a proxy or VPN server?
Just downloaded it and got Kansas too. Press the little arrow to allow current location while using and it will update to your correct location.
Siri, why are we back at the adult book store?
Bob, based on you browsing history, this is the place you are most likely to visit on a daily basis at 7 am before work....
Well, this might be something that drives me to Waze (also owned by Google and which may also end up with these). But it's yet another thing that would potentially drive me back to Apple.
Edit: never mind on Waze, I forgot they already do something like this. Although for whatever reason it doesn't seem quite as invasive.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
