Organic Maps: Ultime notizie e aggiornamenti dal nostro team

The major June update and a follow-up OSM data-only update (with a hotfix for the iOS app hanging) were successfully published and are available in all app stores and on our GitHub.

Thanks to Viktar Havaka, now you can search for the US zip codes and UK postcodes! The external address data is taken from the TIGER database and Ordnance Survey, and pre-processed by Nominatim project used in OpenStreetMap search.

Another major feature is street name announcements during the navigation, contributed by Will Bradley. Please enable it in OM settings, and let us know about any issues.

A long-awaited iOS iCloud synchronization is also available, thanks to Kiryl Kaveryn. Please enable it in OM settings (you will be offered to back up all your bookmarks and tracks first) and report any issues.

Bookmarks and tracks GPX export is also ready, in addition to the existing KML (KMZ) export. It will become very handy when we finish the long-awaited Track Recorder feature. Kudos to cyber-toad!

As always, thanks to everyone for your contributions, donations, support, and positive reviews. They motivate and inspire our team!

Vi auguriamo un Buon Natale 🎅 e un Felice Anno Nuovo 🎄! Il miglior regalo per noi è sapere che stiamo facendo La Cosa Giusta e che il nostro tempo e i nostri sforzi stanno aiutando qualcuno sul pianeta 🌎. Ecco il nostro piccolo regalo 🎁 per te: una versione di Capodanno di Organic Maps è disponibile in AppStore, Google Play, Huawei AppGallery e FDroid!

Dobbiamo risolvere molti problemi e implementare molte funzionalità (1200+ sul nostro GitHub al momento). Molti di loro riguardano il miglioramento dell'app. Alcune funzionalità sono più complesse e possono essere eseguite come progetti aperti separati e indipendenti. Ad esempio, foto delle località e recensioni, database del traffico stradale, servizi di trasporto pubblico, sincronia cloud e backup, mappe online, editor web per la pianificazione dei viaggi, editor degli stili delle mappe, guide di viaggio, API/SDK per altre app, ecc. Qui puoi aiutare donando, partecipando o addirittura guidando un progetto del genere!

L'obiettivo principale del progetto Organic Maps è creare un'alternativa aperta e rispettosa della privacy alle mappe proprietarie esistenti. Con le tue donazioni, il tuo aiuto e supporto, possiamo raggiungere prima questo obiettivo, fornendo tutti i servizi gratuitamente a tutti. Inoltre, facci sapere se sei a conoscenza di sovvenzioni che potrebbero aiutare con lo sviluppo di Organic Maps. Ad esempio, questa sovvenzione può essere utilizzata dai volontari in Germania.

Infine, ecco l'elenco di tutte le modifiche apportate all'aggiornamento di Capodanno:

In evidenza:

• Nuovi dati OpenStreetMap aggiornati al 16 dicembre 2022
• Algoritmo di instradamento migliorato (ci sono ancora alcuni problemi da risolvere, per favore faccelo sapere!)
