When I want to get the API key from here they want me to add a payment method. Is the number of requests locked or will here automatically charge me when i reach the threshold?
Quick question: I still donāt get any GPS Update in Puremaps (XA2). Hence I cant use it for navigation. At the same time OSM Scout has access to GPS and updates my position. There were some posts in the forum, that explained this with OS Update and delayed release of SDK or something similar. Does this still hold true or are others able to use GPS signal within PureMaps?
The last sentence is garbled. Could you edit it please?
Generally speaking Iām looking for a way to make GPS better on my X10 II; I rarely use it but the few times a year I activate it it does not work even after - idk, maybe 10 minutes.
Everything is fine here with OS 5.0.0.68 and on the Sony X10 III. GPS seems to get a faster fix with the app GPSInfo started. In sensitive cases i run both apps (pureMaps and GPSInfo) together.

Hello,
I have a question regarding sharing of routes/places between Desktop and Pure Maps. Before an upcoming travel event I often have different locations I need to bookmark. This process usually happens on my Laptop (here.maps; google maps etc.). Afterwards I have to look the places up again in Pure Maps - where I sometimes need different search strings (e.g. hotel name not in db). This takes quite some time.
My question is, what are your routines to share locations/routes from Desktop to Sailfish. In an ideal scenario I would use a map service with login where I can bookmark a place, that is synced.

Iām not a fan of online accounts personally, but I do have my own Nextcloud.
Personally Iād make contacts in Nextcloud for each important location or event, with the right address saved to each contact. (Literally things like 1st week Hotel, 2nd week Hotel, etc.)
They are grouped; so afterward the whole group can be deleted if thatās needed. These contacts automatically get two-way synced to SFOS; so any changes made there will update on NC, etc.
Then from your people app in SFOS you can just tap the address and get asked which satnav sofware you want to use for navigating there.
Is it Spartan? Sure. Does it work? Works for me. Is it privacy friendly? Oh yeah.
For smaller one-shot things I donāt do this, I use KDE Connect on my PC together with Sailfish Connect on SFOS; copy the address I need on my PC, paste it on my phone with clipboard synchronization.

Why donāt you install pure maps on your desktop? Itās available as flatpak if Iām not mistaken. Once you have all your pins you can copy the xml file with all the location on your phone and thatās about it. I could give you more precise instructions later if needed, Iām not in front of my pc right now

Very basic, almost prehistoric : I grab the coordinates on my PC, send them to the phone via Signal-Whisperfish or Telegram-Fernschreiber and search for these coordinates into Pure Maps and set a PIO.
