Organic Maps on Ubuntu Touch
-
Hello,
view weeks ago I started to switch from Android (Calyx OS) to Ubuntu Touch.
I use my smartphone also as a freelancer and need to relay on it.
I tried few Navigation Apps and Organic Maps works at its best for me. It is, in a good way, simple, to use.I wrote to them, if they like to adapted it to UT.
I have no idea in programming, but I wanted to share the answer:
"Hi O.....
We would love to support the development of OM for UT more actively, but our resources are very limited. With enough donations or active contributors/developers the situation may change.
There's already the cross-platform C++ core, only the good UI should be developed on top of it (although it's a lot of work…)
What are your thoughts/ideas on that?
With best regards,
Alexander Borsuk
Software Engineer & Co-Founder @ Organic MapsSupport the development of free, privacy-focused, open-source maps:"

I see they have a desktop app that seems more or less responsive, maybe it could be possible to run it directly in Ubuntu Touch with Xmir. That's a shame they don't have a snap you could install it directly and try it.
Upcoming Mir2.0 with wayland should also improve the feasibility of using desktop apps, in Ubuntu Touch.
