Try OpenMediaServer on a Odroid H3+ and install the programs through Docker containers. Use a Thermal Grizzly Cryosheet instead of thermal paste under your cooler for zero maintenance

MaMan, in What's your favorite OpenStreetMaps app?

This dev in the link gathers address data and inserts it into map obf files. You download each one you need then you put the obf file in osmands android data directory where your map files usually go. https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation/releasesThere’s also an app called addresstogps that allows you to lookup an address and it converts it into gps coordinates and allows you to open it in any map app. However addresstogps uses Google as a back end. Ive found that dev in the links address lookup to be so robust, there’s almost never a time when I need to use a different address lookup.

HughJanus,

I don’t understand what you’re saying

MaMan,

What are you having trouble understanding specifically?

HughJanus,

Things I don’t understand

  • "dev in the link"
  • "obf files"
  • Android data directory

Also I can use GW maps to get locations and share them over but why not just use an app that works instead?

MaMan,

I meant the developer in the link I posted. Obf files are just the file type that the maps are in. Android directory is when you go into your android file manager, there is a list of folders like android or downloads. When you choose the android folder, the next folders are data, media,and obb.

MaMan,

Why not just use an app? Thats what addresstogps does pretty much. Its very easy. But for some people its a deal breaker that it uses Google as a back end for data. The other thing is it requires data to work.

MaMan,

So addresstogps is way easier but it requires data to work. If you’re going hiking or camping and cant get cell service for example, addresstogps wouldnt work but, those map files preloaded with address data would. They don’t require data. Which are the obf map files.

MaMan,

The link I posted, the dev has inserted address data into the map file for every state in the us plus some other countries. You download the obf file for each state you need. Then in android data subdirectory in your filemanager where osm puts its own map obf files you’ll replace there’s with these. You’ll have to either use a third party file manager app or a computer will work. If your maps are on the SD card, then it’ll be in the same directory but under the SD card.

HughJanus,

My guy you posted like 74 comments so maybe I missed the one with the link in it.

I see no reason to go through the trouble of dealing with these workarounds when it’s simply not a problem for other apps and when I can already find the data with GW Maps.

But thanks anyway.

MaMan,

The app addresstogps is a separate thing. Its an app in the play store.

I’ve never used a VPN where I didn’t get a big drop in speed. Privacy and security don’t mesh well with speed in most cases.

TheInsane42, in Should I worry about "legitimate interest" tracking cookies?
@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

For me there is no legitimate interest from sites. When they ask to track you, the answer is no for me. Required cookies that will break the site when you block them are bad enough, but can be useful for fora or sites where you order stuff.
