Running the project equivalent to other open-source projects is already a great community approach. Open-source projects usually have yearly reports with groupings for amounts without much detail. Also, they have boards who make decisions and project directions in their meetings rather than have …

I have experimented with CoMaps (as well as Organic Maps in the past) and I find it too lacking to use on a regular basis. Without real-time traffic data (something my 10 year old Garmin has), red light cameras, speed cameras, temporary road closures, etc, I feel at a loss. Also, I live in a major…

If there’s a lack of POIs where you live, then contribute, there are lots of tools for doing that, we need you. What’s more, I think that Privacy Guides should create a sub-category for applications that allow you to contribute to OSM, I don’t know what you think?

Is there a way to add red light and speed cameras to OSM? What would be the purpose of adding an OSM subcategory to PG?

[image] RevealedInWords: Is there a way to add red light and speed cameras to OSM? Yes. There are tagging conventions for adding traffic lights and speed cameras to OSM. CoMaps, Organic Maps and OsmAnd all can show the traffic lights on their display. For CoMaps and Organic Maps you have to z…

[image] IXVG47QZ: I keep hearing over and over, Accrescent can’t take on new apps right now. When they can I’m sure we’ll be on it. I only mention it because according to Accrescent’s instructions , CoMaps must reach back out to Accrescent (at an unspecified point in the future) before they ca…

[image] jonah: That being said, after catching up on this thread again it does seem like @phnx has a good case against CoMaps which I am still leaning towards agreeing with even after reading the subsequent replies, personally. The Accrescent thing is really a non-issue. That app store is in …

[image] OldGuy: I don’t use any of them very much for navigation so am unsure if they show them well when doing driving directions nor if they consider their impact on travel times when computing routes. CoMaps has recently improved routing involving traffic lights. Upcoming traffic lights ar…

[image] phnx: Maybe I’m missing something, but CoMaps doesn’t appear to be meaningfully community-driven either, and just because you say it and put Co in your name doesn’t make it true [image] TheDoc: As for @phnx ’s skepticism of whether CoMaps is truly community- driven, I think @IXVG47…

@phnx has no good case against CoMaps. the track record of Organic Maps is exactly the reason why it should be removed from PG but this post is about adding CoMaps to PG and i can’t believe we are talking about beeing community-driven or not beeing listed on accrescent as valid points for not listi…

I only mention it because according to Accrescent’s instructions, CoMaps must reach back out to Accrescent (at an unspecified point in the future) before they can be included in their app store. I figured Accrescent’s recent financial success indicated some time soon would be a good time to re-try, so anyone who’s on Codeberg might want to mention this news under issue #52.
