You can add the places with CoMaps, so others may won’t have the same experience as you. All places on OSM were added by other users, they don’t appear automagically. It’s a chicken egg problem, you can help break: restaurants don’t put themself on osm because they don’t know it exist, they don’t know because few people use it, few people use it because restaurants aren’t there.
Here you can read how you can add places with CoMaps: https://www.comaps.app/support/editing-with-CoMaps/
There is one already on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comaps
CoMaps is mostly still the same as organic maps, so if you find a script, build instructions for OM, it should work for comaps as well, just change the source.
Yes!
In early 2008, TECNO focused entirely to Africa following market research, and by 2010, it was among the top three mobile phone brands in Africa

It’s interesting, they don’t mention this prominently on their website: https://www.tecno-mobile.com/about-us/
It now takes Microsoft’s browser less than 300 milliseconds to start rendering the first parts of a website for users,
I use edge only if I set up computers for others, and I don’t want to install firefox for just downloading an installer or something. You have 3 unskippable consent dialogs before you can even type the url, and the no button is on a different position on the dialogs, so you can’t click it through quickly. But I’m really happy these dialogs load more quickly, thank you microsoft for your hard work on making linux a viable alternative to more and more people.
I’m not following smartphone market very closely nowadays, but this is the first time I heard about this manufacturer
Edit: After some research I found it’s a super budget manufacturer, before 2024 they were selling phones only in Asia and Latin America.

It seems like some local, Canadian problem? I don’t really understand what should show this here. Can you show with a map example what search founds and the result you actually want?
Have you contacted the local community about this? The osm Canada forum seems very active: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/ca/95 You should ask/report about it here.
Other channels of local communities are listed here: https://openstreetmap.community/?map=45.37903%2C-75.97289&zoom=4.78
Do you want to import or record?
To import: star button -> import bookmarks and tracks. Then you can just pick it from your file browser. You can’t use it for navigation, it’s just displayed as an overlay.
To record: Hamburger menu -> Record track
CoMaps has far less features, but that’s the point. Some people love the simplicity, they don’t need all the confusing and overwhelming options of osmand.
Osmand has some performance issues on some devices, but Comaps was generally much more responsive on any device I tried it.
CoMaps has 3d buildings. Its map is very nice, but this is subjective.
CoMaps aims to be fully FOSS, this was not true for its predecessors, OM and Maps.me. Osmand is not fully foss.
If you are perfectly happy with osmand you don’t really need it, but for new users who are only familiar with the very basic interfaces of other commercial map apps, it can be much more welcoming.
The full story is in the Open Letter, but it’s long: https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-organic-maps-shareholders-a0bf770c
AI summary from this comment from the osm forum:
Concrete Issues Leading to the Open Letter
- Misuse of Donations: Alexander Borsuk allegedly used project donations to cover personal holiday expenses, raising concerns about financial integrity.
- Lack of Financial Transparency: Contributors were consistently denied access to financial information, including total donations received and expenditures.
- Secret Hiring Practices: The hiring of the first full-time developer in January 2024 was kept secret from contributors, who only learned about it months later.
- Closed Decision-Making: Key project decisions, such as agreements with external partners (e.g., Kayak.com), were made without informing or consulting contributors.
- Shareholder Control: The governance structure allowed shareholders to make unilateral decisions, sidelining the input of long-term contributors.
- Conflict Among Shareholders: A significant conflict between shareholders Roman Tsisyk and Alexander Borsuk has led to a breakdown in collaboration, jeopardizing project stability.
- Lack of Accountability: The board, composed solely of shareholders, failed to rotate members or ensure accountability, leading to a stagnant governance model.
- Potential for Profit Motives: Contributors expressed concerns that the project could be sold or monetized for shareholder profit, undermining its community-driven mission.
- Inadequate Communication: Shareholders did not adequately communicate the role of Organic Maps OÜ as a for-profit entity, leaving contributors unaware of its implications.
- Violation of Open Source Values: While the maps generator code is technically available, the version in production contains private changes that are not disclosed, and the server used for downloading maps operates with proprietary elements, contradicting the project’s stated commitment to Free and Open Source Software principles.
We don’t map temporary features: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don’t_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features
If the road closure is less than a month long it shouldn’t be on OSM. A lot of people use the map offline, it’s better to have the default “open” state on the map for them.
Clients are free to mix the OSM basemap with their proprietary data. E.g. Magic Earth has some live traffic data from 3rd parties and from its users, and you can report temporary closures in the app as well and it displays them while driving. (Unfortunately it doesn’t consider them for routing)
OSM is not a map service like Gmaps, it’s a geospatial database and a community maintaining the database. OSM by itself is not really usable for end users, CoMaps and others should build their services on top of the data. This is the reason it’s not licensed by some kind of CreativeCommons, but it has its own special license ODbL. It allows easier commercial usage than CC-BY-SA, which was used by OSM before 2012. https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence_and_Legal_FAQ/Why_CC_BY-SA_is_Unsuitable
The routing was not working for the same reason. OSM does not route, as it’s just a database. It just displays a 3rd party routing engine which uses outdated data, from before your change.

#idm there, you will see posts from [email protected]If you want to follow all from one account with a Lemmy-like interface, the closest you can get is with Mbin. There you can follow Lemmy communities, Mastodon and Lemmy users. You cannot follow Mastodon hashtags though.

That’s not an alternative frontend, but a different albeit very similar platform. With an alternative frontent you can see the same content, but with better and different features, usually without ads and with better privacy.
They already have 122 subscribers, it took less than a day to have 15 times more subscribers, it wasn’t that much behind.
Isn’t it really expensive (in time or in money) to have all these instances? I see you sell some kind of accounts, does it worth?
It’s just 3 posts from you, the others are from your reddit archival bots, only 7 subscribers, “going on” is a bit exaggerated. Some people may still block your instances because of their history.
Why are you still running all these instances? Most seems really dead to me. I’m just curios.
