It seems Like it doesnt work without gapps. I am in LineageOS without gapps, so Organic Maps wins.
EDIT: It works without Gapps. Tested it again today and it worked.
It works perfectly fine without any GApps, not sure where you're getting this info. I've used it for months with no issues.
Im using Fairphone 4 5G. Do you really use it without any gapps? Not even Micro/Nano G? I installed pure Lineage20. In Google Maps and most of the other Navigation apps GPS Locationing doesnt work. Organic Maps just works. At least for me. Most of the time something doesnt work, it is because of gapps, and it is on the play store, so i would think it is because of that.
But i will try it again and reply if it is now better or not.
Yes, I used it as my primary mapping tool on GrapheneOS, the GPS locating worked fine, and I didn't have any Google software installed.
You Were right. Used it for my way back home Form office and it worked this time. Strange. I swear, that when i tested it yesterday, it didnt got my Location! Today it took less than 10sec.
Works without Gapps.
It (ios app store) says not available in my region. does anyone know where I could find what region to spoof to get it? (also I know I should get android im working on it)
Did you contact the developer? It's open-source, why would they restrict it?
It's not OpenSource unfortunately
