About Pure Maps

Offline mapping is possible by installing OSM Scout Server https://open-store.io/app/osmscout-server.jonnius.

Pure Maps is a full-featured map and navigation application allowing you to explore maps, search for addresses and points of interest, as well as assist with navigation. For that, it uses either offline OSM Scout Server or online service providers.

The Full version include Mimic for high quality voice (English only). If you prefer to install a package approx. 90% smaller in size , install the Slim version with lower quality voice instead: https://open-store.io/app/pure-maps-slim.jonius

Note: Online maps users are requested to register their own Mapbox GL key and enter it through the preferences of the application. This will allow us to use default key for application testing and provide the service without hitting free tier limits. Note that without significant number of users moving to the personal keys, Mapbox key will be revoked and the users of Mapbox tiles will not be able to access it.

Note: If sound output is too low use https://open-store.io/app/uvolman.mateosalta to adjust alert volume.
Note: The snap-to-road-feature is currently not available in this package.

Wow, This app works on my PC via flatpak, on Sailfishos, Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu touch. It looks quite modern and you can use it offline with osm scout server.
