Github Discussions as a new Forum - Welcome
Hi all, I think it's time to move on from https://groups.google.com/g/osmand to Github Discussions - https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/discussions/. Actually we already did it for last 3 years, I think. Most of our conversations is already happening in Github Issues. Sometimes we need to indicate that's not a bug and it's a rather discussion, exploring new ideas or something more like a question. Discussions is not a documentation! For that purpose we've created https://docs.osmand.net/en and trying to contribute daily improving our documentation. Though even initial documentation will take 3-6 months, it will not replace sharing ideas and discussing internals process. In the end best from our discussions should come to Documentation eventually.

Re: What's up with map updates?
All maps are updated now. Please use OsmAnd Live subscription and you will get incremental map updates every hour. Our full generation map update is becoming more complicated and this month it was delayed by 5 days because of hardware issues though it is expected that it could take 2-3 weeks and maps of 1st/XX/20YY will be produced at 20/XX/20YY On Friday, 14 June 2019 06:31:05 UTC+2, Mark Begbie wrote: > > I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the schedule for map updates. > We're now on the 14th of June and the New Zealand map update to 1st of June > hasn't been released yet.

Re: Raster map in iOS 2.0.1
I need to check whether it is supported properly. Please try to install a normal folder-map via app, probably it is an hidden limitation.

Re: OsmAND+ licence check (Amazon)
We will investigate what we can do from our side. We set explicitly that we don't want that check or validation (may be it gets reverted), we will also try to reach Amazon support to get it off.

AFAIK OsmAnd does not use a license check, if Google Play is used. Amazon is different here. Developers can only decide, if license should be checked or not, but AFAIK it is not possible to influence how the license check is done. AFAIK the only option to prevent this Amazon license check issue, is to remove the Amazon license check completly. I think this would be a good decision.

Re: What happened to the OsMo plugin?
Hi OsMo plugin was always a "separate plugin". OsMo company has very few to do with OsmAnd. Unfortunately lately OsmAnd developers were very busy with core functionality and didn't manage to migrate to OsMo new API. Old OsMo API is quite unstable. The intention is to move OsMo plugin mostly to OsMoDroid and keep OsmAnd as a plugin integration. OsmAnd doesn't have immediate plans to replicate OsMo functionality and OsmAnd has API for remote tracking so it could be integrated with other services as well.

Re: OSM Live website/payment issues
Hi, 1. Download page is fixed and now returns proper json to downoad (error was related that this is not an html page). 2. You are right, we don't pay to invalid address (I believe we contacted the person to change it) and we can't pay small payments cause the payment system doesn't allow. We made a decision to keep "unpaid" payment for the next month, that's why we always round up the number of BTC we've got from subscriptions. We might need to properly document or change the automatic payment algorithm, so the sum from all regions will be added to the world region. Anyway if you find something we missed not a small payment, please let us know so we could double check how did it happen. 3. We have a strong cache algorithms behind it, cause the page is too heavy to load (we update information every 5 minutes). And also for detail investigation it is advised to use JSON file and UI to use to check details of 1-10 items. We keep it sorted in order to search information quicker on UI.

Re: problems with corrupt file
Supposed to be fixed in 2.4 (released last week), please double check that OsmAnd has permission to Storage. четверг, 25 августа 2016 г., 2:24:31 UTC+2 пользователь Mark Croft написал: > > > https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByT3j6QmpErWeEhfdUlaRGRzN21BWmNsMFR3ZWdiaDJySVdV > error message "no offline data for region found on the sd card.Dowload > regions from internet' > > >- Samsung Galaxy J1 > > Device : j13g > Brand : samsung > Model : SM-J100H > Product : j13gxx > Build : KTU84P.J100HXCU0APE3 > Version : 4.4.4 > App Version : OsmAnd > Apk Version : 2.3.5 238 > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.

Changes in OSM Live Program
Hi All, First of all number, we've updated the web page osm live http://osmand.net/osm_live to make it fully transparent and easy to use. As you could see number of people supporting OSM Live grows. Second major change we changed percent distribution between partie. *After Google and Bank deductions the whole sum is split into 2 parts (50% OsmAnd and 50% Donations)* That roughly means *30-40% *of each spent EUR on OSM Live by end user (excluding VAT) will go back to OSM community. The change is mostly related to the way we want to continue distribute OsmAnd itself. In our plans to bring more focus to the user that's buying OsmAnd+ is not the only option to support our team. So we would like to get more people getting subscription on OsmAnd free version itself. That means in the end we will have more users donating to OSM itself via OSM Live.
