I'm no longer sure who it was on here, but some one recommended organic maps app as a privacy friendly alternative to Google maps, built on #openstreetmaps I've been trying it out the last 3 days and it is really brilliant. So 🙏 to whoever it was.

#privacy #OrganicMaps #Degoogle #degooglify

Yes, you can ditch #GoogleMaps now..

https://organicmaps.app

#OrganicMaps is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a #privacy-respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on #OpenStreetMap this app is gonna blow #Google #Maps out of the water (hopefully ;)

Had the best weekend at Greenbelt Festival. I drew my review, consisting of haphazard and quite possibly illegible observations, as a map. This festival continues to be the highlight of my year. #GB50

It’s cool that you can just pick up and read a book from 100 years ago with no special tools or procedures or conversion software
