Is there a compelling reason one might consider switching away from Organic Maps and move to CoMaps?

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Apparently, there was some drama within Organic Maps and this is a fork. Idk if it's worth it.

Oh dang, I must have missed it. Is there a reader's digest version I can check out regarding the drama?

Edit: I think I found it - https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/

Fdroid doesnt show it

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Well it says right there that the app is hidden due to your antifeature settings.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I didn't disable any of this myself. Where can I re enable these settings?

Settings > [App Compatibility] Include Anti-Features

In case you're curious, the anti-feature is "tethered network services", as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it's progenitor and is planned to be fixed.

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 3 points 2 months ago

well, it's in the settings. "Include anti features" menu.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

This is probably because "This app depends entirely on a certain instance of a network service" (cdn.comaps.app), and you have that hidden in your settings. So basically it has the download URL for maps hard-coded.
