I use local models to explore, hosted models to refine. I somewhat envy those who can sustain local models (q8 120b+) running as a hobby.... for me, the practical path is a better SearXNG setup and knowing my routes forward.
People troll too much with their low effort comments. The thing was tiny, but it was a cool reward as a kid. I may be mistaekn but there was a limit too, it was either one per week or once a month.
Agreed. I use organic maps for hiking, because its just simple offline trail mapping. I want a mapping program in my car to easily be offline, have map overlays that are easy to read like more pronounced lane/route arrows and can re route if there is a road shut down or a backup on the expressway and I go to get off.
But my biggest gripe with using organic maps with driving is its search function. I couldnt care if it doesnt have all the online social features like google maps and come up with the police/safety warnings and restaurant ratings. I just want its seach to actually find the place I want to go.
Most of the time I try and avoid using google maps, but then I go back and try organic maps. Notice it doesnt have where i want to go listed in its search, so i google the address to plug in. I can enter in the exact address and it wont find it and then go back to google maps.
I wont be getting rid of my x1, but I will have to try out x1plus and contribute to their oroject now.
