HI all,
Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.
You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread
At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started…

Just use
!community@instance
, e.g.!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
.Just type it like that
The kbin webui likes to summarize.
For example the mention
@shadearg@lemmy.world
simply displays@shadearg
as a link tohttps://lemmy.world/u/shadearg
, completely obscuring the format of the actual mention.I suspect that the direct community link may be transformed in a similar way.
Edit: explanation
If you ever see something fancy in a comment, click “view source” in the drop down menu of the comment and you can see how they did it.
Its /c/openstreetmap@lemmy.ml for people on memmy

Is there a good user guide for osmand? Iwant to use it but it seems WAY too difficult
What are you trying to use it for? If you just need basic mapping, you might look at Organic Maps.
My primary use is driving directions. I’ve used organic maps, I’ll try that again.
Thanks!
Shout out to Humanitarian OSM Team (www.hotosm.org/)
You can help map roads, buildings and other features for disaster zones and other areas in urgent need of accurate mapping.
I’ve purchased OSMAnd on Android and I love it. But would like to try out Organic Maps.
I wonder: Is there a way to share the maps between the two? Or am I forced to keep both copies?
No. Both package the same OSM-data, but they use a different binary format.
That’s a shame! Maybe there’s a place for an “OSMService”, serving maps to apps.
“MApps”?
