I doubt they think that. You’re being ridiculous. Taiwan is de facto independent, and there is some push over there to declare independence officially. The ROC is of a different era at the end of the day.

The USA doesn’t officially recognize the ROC but it is US law that consular, travel and business relations between them. Nancy Pelosi travelled to Tawain only a couple years ago.

Anyway, the rights for all people to self-govern themselves should come first over all that.

I wonder what a “softline” is for a member of the Israeli government

I though a lot of their industry was also built on real cheap electricity thanks to them building their factories near dams and the like.

Considering the recent problems Cuba’s facing hopefully this could bring more than just talk.

They have an app though, do you not like it?

I think I remember reading some comments in a previous blogpost that it wasn’t really in the near-future roadmap at least. I think there are a couple good android calendar apps without needing Thunderbird to port that. RSS sync would be great though, I’d love that too.

As far as I know there is unfortunately no good webapp using OSM.

I guess graphopper is probably the best but I don’t personally like it that much. You can create a route with it 1nd send the gpx file to your phone and open it Osmand and then follow that. It’s nothing like using the Google maps feature send to phone or email because you can’t really modify it then.

Apparently it’s the same guy doing both from the headline. Didn’t read the article to be honest.

Surely as it does have a user base somebody would take over in that case even as a fork for brand reasons or whatever.

Public transit navigation is possible in Osmand but there will not times just the routes and only if the data is present in Openstreetmap and that pretty rare, really depends where you live.

Osmand does have a plugin for open reviews or something and I think I saw there were plans to use another source too. I guess, on top of photos from Wikimedia and mapillary it is trying to become a bit like Google Maps in a way…

There is also a plugin for mapillary street view that doesn’t work too bad.

Only missing a Web app for desktop.

You are supposed to use an app and not the website for navigation and generally looking 1t the map.

On android the best two IMHO are Osmand and Organic Maps but depending on what you what there are others. Many on F-Droid. Osmand also has an ios app.

Organic maps is quite nice.

What and why is Osmand tracking us. Are they actually selling that data. I had completely missed that. Weirdly didn’t get and email…

Reminds me how librivox and others publish their audiobooks as podcasts. I guess artists could upload their albums like this?
