Alas, #CoMaps fell at the first hurdle in my test of #Navi software - it doesn't show #speed limit nor #GNSS speed on the screen on #AndroidAuto - a big missing feature! #OrganicMaps (which it is forked from) doesn't have this either, there's an open issue for it but 0 reply / acknowledgement from the devs..

(Curiously the speeds are shown if you use the device standalone, and other Android Auto apps do have this display so its not a Google UI restriction..)

So I will stick to #MagicEarth for the moment..

Just downloaded #CoMaps as an experiment - haven't tried it in the car with #AndroidAuto yet, but also found there seems to be a some delay between the app making use of an #OpenStreetMap dataset (in this case the map is 2025-06-25 ).

This is understandable as it must take a fair bit of time to get all the data across and maybe it has to be validated (otherwise trolls/vandals could end up causing all sorts of chaos) - found in the FAQ that CoMaps apparently updates 1-4 times each month (which if true seems fairly good and better than some commercial apps!)

Vuosia sitten kun Android Autoa ei voinut asentaa Suomessa suoraan Play storesta, niin APK:n hakemalla asennus onnistui ja silloin AA ymmärsi suomenkielisiä puhekomentoja. Sitten AA yhdistyi Google Assistantin kanssa ja suomenkielinen tunnistus katosi. #AndroidAuto

Got this USB wireless #AndroidAuto adaptor as I was fed up with having the USB cable trailing across the car into the passenger footwell (where the phone is in or on top of one of my kit bags) - it works quite well and doesn't even seem to randomly disconnect as much!

Might not be the most secure thing (and curiously you have to connect to the devices Bluetooth but then it transfers the signal to the #MIB2 connection just like using the cable!) but it creates a 5 GHz rather than 2,4 GHz wifi SSID so not going to go that far, and its only going to display the navi app from a bright red car that you would likely already be able to see in order to receive the wifi signal..

I've never been able to use Maps (Magic Earth) with Android Auto on /e/OS (and a FairPhone 5)...
Any tips? @gael @e_mydata
