From the Openletter Matrix room:

Hi all! Thanks for your support. We're beginning to spin up website, CDN, and map generation resources. If you or someone you know would like to donate or has affordable bandwidth or compute, please let us know! Currently map generation takes about 6 days on a 16-core 96gb ram 4tb HDD machine, which would be about $89 per run on AWS. We'll be looking at efficiency improvements as well.

So you can download maps for offline use, nice. Can I download the files and share them with other devices, which are offline? Or share the map files via usb?

I normally use the version (pictured to the right) from the F-Droid repo. I was curious about what features the version (pictured to the left) from the IzzyOnDroid repo had since it supposedly has non-free components and promotes non-free network services. After testing it and comparing it for a few minutes I can't really find any differences. The package names and file sizes are different though. Does anybody else know?

I noticed that on OSMand there's an option which lets you use online navigation, which lets you avoid using up storage space, I think this is particularly useful on a 1-time journey, either long-distance or in an area you won't visit again. You'd also be able to get real-time travel info like public transport times and the quickest routes, granted not as good as google's harvested data, but still something that could be useful.

Edit: Solved. Missed Sunshine's post yesterday about it: https://lemmy.ca/post/40704347

The GitHub repos at https://github.com/organicmaps are all public archives now, but there's no information on them about why.

It still shows up as Gulf of Mexico on Organic Maps. At least with Openstreetmaps the community can debate the topic while not having to deal with corporate higher-ups who force through the change anyways despite feedback.
