nix,

@richardnosworthy Just read this now! I'm a big fan of Organic Maps, but it doesn't always have everything. You can contribute info to OSM easily tho.

"Fun" fact about Signal that I actually find quite sad: Signal used to support normal SMS, so you could use it for texting and if the other person had Signal, it'd send over Signal. if not, it'd send as a regular SMS. You didn't need to use multiple apps. They discontinued that features a while ago unfortunately.

Good luck with everything!

@nix thanks - so far I love the speed, offline functionality and detail of @organicmaps - I miss Google Street View and public transport integration. Signal not having SMS is a shame but not a big deal for me. App working well on iOS and fairly well on Mac desktop. #OrganicMaps #Signal #30dayfosschallenge

Oh and another word on Organic - I think the speed is because of the offline functionality. it's very noticeable when I'm on LTE or a spotty connection how much slower Google Maps is. Organic feels like a big improvement when I'm somewhere more remote.

Browsing the map is quite fast. But route planning above 300 km is slow.

@alex_mastodon @nix @richardnosworthy do you store maps on SD card? Do you have many maps downloaded?
