Many thanks too.
@rinigus, your app on my XA2 guides me every day to various places.
Very reliably,
Probably the one of the non stock app that I use the most.

I use Mapy.cz (for Android) right now, as it has a feature that I use quite a lot: Live location sharing during navigation.
Is this something that Pure Maps can do somehow, as well?
You could try enabling the testing repository
Hi! I was wondering why the Pure Maps is not in the wiki for Open Street Maps application list.
I requested to add it there, anyone did before?
Software - OpenStreetMap Wiki

Sailfish OS is under the âMobile software by platformâ.
No link though.
@ric9k and @denis.robel and others: thanks. Just donât have much time to develop it further these days. Probably until I hit something that I miss myself. Other devs are welcome to join and fix/add functionality that they need 
Should be there now in OBS Chum, release version of it, for SFOS releases 4.6.*. Try to refresh repository in Chum GUI and see if it proposes to install. Make sure you are on SFOS 4.6 channel, not 4.5
I was considering adding it via Nextcloud, but never got to it. Didnât need it myself. Feel free to implement it
Nobody has added it yet. Please add and donât forget to mention that it also works on Ubuntu Touch, Mobile Linux, and Linux PCs via Flatpak

I saw pure maps and osmscout server in the Ubuntu touch section
Definitely there is something wrong. There are no builds of osmscout-server for 4.6.x.x (11,12,13). Only up to 4.5.0.24.
obs-sailfishos-4.6.0.13
for some reason mapnik compilation failed. and on chum release only - for testing it worked⌠no idea.
I had to fidle with chum till âOSM Scout serverâ showed up.
Then install failed, claiming âprotobufâ was not provided.
After pkcon refresh install went throughâŚ
(XA2 4.0.6.13)
OK, mapnik versions are different. that would probably take a while (day or two) before it is compiled and released. but letâs see. Iâll trigger rebuild for chum release channel

Hello, i have a question
Yesterday i needed to find an address, but osmscout couldnât find the street. Tried with a street nearby but neither that was found, so i tried with a shop present in the street and even that was not found
I thought it was time to check those maps and fix the things, but when i went on openstreetmap, everything was already mapped right, including the shop
Done another test but osmscout was unable to find neither of the three
On the contrary opencage found them no problem
Now the question is: is there some kind of problem with osmscout or maybe those things got mapped recently and pure maps maps are not updated yet?(i recall in fact it has been a very long time since i last updated the maps)

This thread is about Pure Maps. OSM Scout is another app.
Yes but i saw no topics about the osm scout server, should i create one?
And anyway, we could say osm scout server itâs a component of pure maps (even if itâs not for real)

OsmScout the app and osm server are two different things.
Osmscout has its own offline map handling.
And yes to open new threads for new questions, is what was intended by the mighty creators of forum apps

Offline maps in OSM Scout Server are a bit old, from December.

Yes, indeed. According to GitHub - rinigus/osmscout-server: Maps server providing tiles, geocoder, and router, maps were to be updated every 2 or 3 months. I guess itâs a long and tedious job but maybe not necessarily complicated to do? How can we help? Because itâs true, at least as far as Iâm concerned, Pure Maps has become my only navigation tool, and having the most up-to-date maps possible would be really great!

Oh, and Pure Maps is obviously missing a feature: vehicle height. At least I couldnât find it 
On Monday Iâm going to have to make a fairly long round trip in a van with a fairly high roof. I donât think this will be a problem. But still, it would be nice if this feature were available!
