Future 🗺 Murena Maps FAQ

Using /e/OS Applications

Just noticed on Mastodon:

Excerpt:

3. What’s the purpose of this mapping app? Aren’t there already other great open source mapping apps? :face_with_monocle:

The reason for developing a mapping app ourselves is that none of the existing open source maps projects, although they are great, fit the needs that we have for this project.

Murena and /e/OS focus on building software for mainstream users. Therefore, we want to have a mapping app that instantly ‘just works’ when you open it. This is not the case with offline mapping apps that currently exist – they require route downloads. The goal is to build an online, native Android mapping app.

4. But for those who love downloading their routes – will this be possible with Murena Maps?

Yes, we are working on this.

I already tested the app, it work well and need some adjustments but it’s normal, it’s an alpha version. That looks very promising.

Yes, we are working on a Maps app for Murena named…Murena Maps! Still a lot of development work to be done.

I expect that the planned release will be for /e/OS 4.0 at the earliest, correct?
