Seriously, so cool.
Well damn, they actually have working US address look up. There's literally no other version of OpenStreetMap that has that except AppleMaps.
I wonder if they could add navigation so it's the first and only public Google Maps alternative.
EDIT: Especially ironic: they recommend OrganicMaps, which just pulled so much shady shit it's been forked to CoMaps. And also is missing virtually all address data for the US.
This is cool as hell, it feels like something from the old internet that you'd find on StumbleUpon
Thanks to this i just did a dive on a (historical) local gang. Very interesting.
It blocked me with Librewolf, but works in Firefox. Seems weird.
Once I was able to pull it up, pretty neat interface! Lot's of pictures of local places I don't usually see. I will have some fun with this!
Librewolf disables some canvas features because they're a good way to fingerprint your browser. A lot of map and image manipulation stuff won't work correctly on LibreWolf. I usually just open a Chromium private window when that happens. There's probably a better solution, but I also have to use some sites for work that only work on chromium-based browsers as well.
That could be. I tried the user agent switcheroo but then got stuck in a Cloudfare loop. While it worked for me in Firefox, I haven't really fiddled much with the settings in it so it probably didn't offer much protection and I didn't do a private window. I think the best answer, for me, is to keep things like this partitioned off from some main browsing session. Not my area of expertise!
The OSM data seems to be 1-2 months old.
Not bad when you consider that Google has about the same (or longer) update delay.
Kinda annoying that I can't move the globe up because moving my finger downwards refreshes the page
interesting... a post with lots of upvotes but not a single downvote? glitch in the matrix if you ask me
