Robert Mader<p>Another native app I find myself using more and more is <a href="https://floss.social/tags/gnomemaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gnomemaps</span></a> <br>Just because it started to be the most efficient way for me to look things up - usually a bicycle route. It's increasingly convincing me by utility, not by more idealistic reasons like better privacy etc.</p><p>I should probably add that it actually *is* a clear goal of mine to use native apps more and more (again) for various reasons - one big one being that it's important for <a href="https://floss.social/tags/LinuxMobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMobile</span></a> - and, well, I'd say its going great :)</p>

Cassidy James :gg: :fh:<p>If I want to make a nice map overlay (say, like you’d see when attending an event in an unfamiliar city…), are there good open editors that can like, plug into OpenStreetMap somehow? Ideally something you could load into GNOME Maps, but I’d be fine with a web embed or even just exporting as an image.</p><p>My current idea is to screenshot the area on a map and overlay in Inkscape, but there’s gotta be something better?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.blaede.family/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.blaede.family/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.blaede.family/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.blaede.family/tags/GNOMEMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOMEMaps</span></a></p>
