Hi!

OpenStreetMap is a map that anyone can edit and anyone can freely reuse. It has a huge ecosystem, and can thus be a bit confusing to edit or to work with.

I thought that having a weekly thread to ask all beginner questions would be nice for everyone interested, so - go for it!

If you know the answer to a question, please answer (so that I don’t have to answer everything).

    What would be the best iphone app to use open street maps. Especially for tourism. Meaning can support offline navigation and search, hiking, walking in the city and so on?

    Thank you!

      Try OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one has many features but is less user friendly.

        Didnt test them yet. Just wanna say how much im in love with lemmy! So far nice people. Found something that actually interests me, someone offers actual help. I ask a question, get a nice relevant and helpful answer literally one minute after. No snarky smartass comments or jokes.

        Amazing.

        And thank you!
