The best tutorial I’ve seen on this topic and after all those years, I still learned new things. Thank you very much.

I know.
I meant people’s knowledge of the name “OpenStreetMap” as of in this sentence:

Almost all of the local people have never heard of the name ‘OpenStreetMap’

I personally, use OsmAnd however I try the others from time to time. But I know it’s not for everyone. I wish they’d have a “simple layout” or something like that. People tend to be overwhelmed by the possibilities. It took me a long while to get used to it, too.

You answered yourself. Maps.me is an app. OSM doesn’t have an app called OpenStreetMap.
That’s why people don’t know it.

It is the same thing with komoot. It’s quite popular but, at least here in Germany, most of the people I told about it using OSM looked at me weirdly since they never heard of it.

I’ve been mapping NK for quite some time too, however the loss of Maxar hit really hard. Especially in the rural areas. Now I struggle with motivation.
Based upon your experience: what is the best alternative now?

There are more JDK Releases out there. Here is a good overview over the situation right now: https://whichjdk.com/

I use Adoptium for example. It’s easier to install as it has an installer.

Thank you VERY MUCH for what you’ve done to OSM and of course for the recent feature explosion. The app managed to motivate people around me who didn’t even know where OSM appears in their life to not only learn about it but also to participate in improving it.

What a fantastic project.

Now we just need Mapillary to set up a noob-friendly way based upon your findings ;)
