Someone added official_name:en-US:Gulf of America

I vote to rename that tag to 'nazis_name:'.

I don't know anything about this but would happily download to do that if you can explain how.

Looks like it was already changed again (previously they specifically added "Official Name" to indicate what the fascists view on this is, so "Gulf of America").

I wish Organic Maps was a bit more up to date for my area (a smallish town in a semi-rural area of Japan). I'd use it if it were, but I also can't be expected to update the whole city on my own.

You could focus on the places you frequent. You could spend 10 minutes each day you edit the map.

One can also use Street Complete, which allows you to improve tags in the OMS with minimal effort, with a quest-like system.

Does anyone know (or know a better place to ask this) how I could help add to the public transit part of Organic Maps? It's not great for my area but I want it to be and I ride public transit a lot

They don’t do bus routes or most relations, only subway

They should import all POIs though

Can I make the subways better somehow? If I can contribute I'd love to

You can first check if they're on OSM. If not, go ham! If you want help, I'd love to help you get started.

If they are there then it's a matter of developing the Organic Maps app to display these lines, you could help them with coding

[–] bartleby1@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

I’m not sure. They’re active on telegram and matrix I believe

Does Organic Maps work with Android Auto?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Organic Maps Supports Android Auto!

Awesome, thank you! Looking for a GMaps alternative now. So far I've only tried Here WeGo Beta

Ugh why is the ocean green
