Yesterday, my friend's son turned four. They had his party at the lake. Since there wasn't really an address to share, my friend sent me the GPS coordinates.
I plugged them into Puremaps and it led me straight there while I was also listening to a podcast.
#mobilelinux and the #librem5 have come a long way.

Yes. I have a pinephone pro that I can try other OSes on, but for my Librem5, I stick with PureOS.
There are two reasons for this.
1. It works.
2. I feel like the Librem5 is really close to being something that I could recommend to certain friends. I could not recommend it though if the first thing that they have to do is install a different OS.
Fair enough. I was mainly curious because if you were using PureOS, you were using some of the patches I made for geoclue. I am assuming based on your post that the geoclue fixes worked well.
@kop316
I had never actually tried using Puremaps before, so I can't say that anything was different, but I can say that it worked very well yesterday.
hahaha, trust me, it was different. Those patches are needed.
I always found Puremaps to have a good UI but never was great at giving me directions. Haven't tried it in a while though. Will have to give it another go.
or OSM ?
I haven't hears of Organic maps. I tried OSM years ago but not recently so will have to retry that as well.
you can download all the maps to the phone
and run it all offline
No wifi
No cell
No internet
