No idea. The OSM Wiki has a big list of apps that use OSM. Probably the best drop-in replacement I'm aware of to Google Maps would be Magic Earth. I personally use Osmand from the F-Droid repository.
Dunno why you're getting downvoted for this. It's the case pretty much everywhere in the US except for the very largest US cities. I'm in the 55th largest city, and Google Maps sucks so hard it has a texture. I can't imagine how much worse it has to be for the 19,299 smaller American cities, much less other countries.
Sure it is. Google Maps is less a map and more a georeferenced Yellow Pages. That's the extent they care about their map. The fact that it can kinda-sorta be used for navigation, shittily, is purely incidental.
Using a Garmin instead of a phone for navigation isn't a matter of being a "poor slob". Cellular coverage maps are hilarious jokes, with the coverage being exaggerated to what you can get any signal at all or a network that will authenticate your SIM. And if you do find one, you're probably roaming on some regional carrier, or if you're native, have no data or extremely slow (GPRS or EDGE) data. Most networks save for small regional carriers serving underserved communities, tend to focus on big cities and interstate highways only. And a PND generally has better battery life and durability than your average smartphone. Or it's built into your dashboard.
Which honestly makes about as much sense.
"Hey, let's make a proprietary database for location, with no relation to anything around it." Never mind latitude and longitude is pretty universal. What3Words is to georeferencing as all-way stops are to intersection design. And the all-way stop is an intersection designed by morons for morons.
Which mobile app? OSM doesn't provide one, but there's literally dozens out there that use it. Osmand, Magic Earth, Rand McNally, Navii all come to mind immediately.
I think this might also be driving the drive-in revival. I will go pay $7.50/head for a double-feature of movies I wouldn't normally go see in a theater at a drive-in. Partly because we can riff the fuck out of a bad movie and nobody else cares, and partly because you're going to lose a lot in light pollution, idiots who haven't been to a drive-in before and don't understand you need to keep your parking brake on to keep your headlights off if someone accidentally turns the key, and your car's radio.
He makes award fodder. I really like Koyaanisqatsi and it was a critical darling, but that doesn't stop audiences who aren't into abstract film from being bored with it.
I was going to say Zootopia but then I remembered it's basically 48 Hrs for furries. Either way, the idea of combining the two was original enough to make it the 26th highest grossing movie and most critically acclaimed animated film of all time.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save *BSD from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Really not helping the situation in the Portland area is the idea that bisexuality isn't a thing, among both gay and straight people. And there's no middle ground, either; gay people are in the closet or trying to rub your face in it. Was really glad to find out there is a middle ground. Had to move to my tribe's reservation in Oklahoma to find it, but here it is.
I've noticed there's a trend to vote opposite of the situation on the street. Having spent the last 30 years in Oregon and Oklahoma, I can safely say that both states could trade state governments tonight and both states would be far more accurately represented.
It's estimated that about 5% of the population is gay.
Sure, if you take The 700 Club's word for it instead of, say, Kinsey. But hey, both gay and straight people try to ignore that bisexuality exists, or that most people are some degree of bisexual.
Probably because the midwest has mellowed out and the northwest has spent the last 20 years concentrating hate groups? I moved from my birth city of Portland to Tulsa to get away from the northwest's xenophobic bullshit. And I was successful.
Which is weird, considering Tulsa's a more gay friendly city than Portland. Portland talks the talk on civil rights, but doesn't walk the walk. It does this on a lot of things, really, like livability, cost of living, employment, wage and hour issues...it's amazing it's nothing more than a cattle, ship and railroad yard anymore, but hey... guess Stormfront has to have one win for themselves, eh?

I've been suggesting they do that for 20 years now.

Yes. OpenStreetMap Netherlands has a Garmin map generator server.
Judging by his response, probably Seattle, New York, LA or the Bay Area, the only places Google Maps actually seems to care about.

You can load OSM on your Garmin without their software. Or really any software other than a file manager.
Sure it is. Google Maps is less a map and more a georeferenced Yellow Pages. That's the extent they care about their map. The fact that it can kinda-sorta be used for navigation, shittily, is purely incidental.
Telenav, which uses OSM, does try to get data back. And they abstract that data and OSM's uploaded GPS traces to feed the ImproveOSM JOSM plugin data.

I don't think they're that annoyed.
Yup, check out the OSM Garmin server.

Wow, obviously photoshopped from when that originally referred to Portland versus the Oregon outback.
AIDS does not work that way. It doesn't really give a flying fuck what orientation you are.

Reminds me of Ron White talking about how everyone's a little bit gay, it's just a matter of what degree.
