I just found out about a very interesting library from justJanne in IRC: μG aka microg. They are free software replacements for Google APIs:
https://github.com/microg It includes things like a Maps API that uses OpenStreetMap as a backend, and other fun stuff. And this just got me thinking: Lots of apps use the Google Maps API to have embedded apps. There is a similar service called osmdroid that lets apps do this with OpenStreetMap, which would be an improvement, since it would be without logins and over Tor. Ideally, Osmand would provide a way for apps to get map tiles so that they could show inline maps. To take this all the way home, it would be awesome if Osmand also offered a clone of the Google Maps API to make this as seamless as possible: https://github.com/mar-v-in/MapsAPI .hc -- PGP fingerprint: 5E61 C878 0F86 295C E17D 8677 9F0F E587 374B BE81 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x9F0FE587374BBE81 _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
