  • I do a lot of routing by bike and in my experience, the alternatives just aren’t as good as Organic. Organic has those cool overlays of all bike and hiking routes which Gnome Maps or Comaps don’t. I’ve come to really love and depend on this feature and don’t want to miss it. Additionally, it also shows public transport departures which is pretty handy if you don’t know which exact bus stop you have to wait at to get the bus in the right direction. And their routing got really good in the last years, but I haven’t compared that with Comaps/Gnome Maps yet.

    The only alternative would be Osmand, but that app is laggy as hell and eats battery like nothing else. And I don’t like its Ui so much, i find it very cramped. But thats my opinion.




  • Bought an Oneplus 6 for testing, but didn’tmake it my daily driver. PMOS is there software-wise, but the drivers (calling, camera) aren’t there yet. Sailfish works (because it uses that Halium thing), but I found the software unintuitive and the lack of a proper web browser being available without the use of the android sandbox scared me away.

    However I’ve been noticing that one legend who recently regularily updates on the fediverse how he tries to get feature completeness for the Fairphone 6 in PMOS, so maaybe we’re up to someyhing there?
