That’s a super interesting project. For anyone else, the project overview has some great system level diagrams:

time for some kind of anonymizing location data sharing service, peer to peer or federated protocol? that might be interesting, or sketchy, not sure which.

Pretty sure you can download the maps ahead of time, GPS doesn’t require data, then upload the fixes when you get home.

Go map keeps crashing for me, does it for you?

I’ve been using Go Map! but it keeps crashing… Maybe I’ll try Streetcomplete if it’s on apple.

Crawling and indexing lemmy inter-instance would be an incredible boon to discoverability on the platform.

It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.

The internet is a series of tubes.

I decided to give it a try over the weekend on a road trip, through the apps Organic Maps and Go Map!! I really liked Go Map!! except that it crashes occasionally, and won’t restart until your reinstall it :( loosing all the GPS tracks and unsubmitted data :(( If it was more stable, I’d recommend it to everyone.
