Murena starts work on new maps and navigation app |
 |
The Murena team, which produces the de-Googled, Android based operating system called /e/OS, have started work on a new map application. The new application seeks to address limitations in current proprietary and open source navigation tools, as described in the organization's announcement. "Some map applications might perform well, but do not respect your privacy. Today it doesn't even surprise us anymore that we can zoom into other people's gardens, or that Google teams are such fans of us that they analyze our average driving speed to add this information to our consumer profile. On the other hand, it is difficult to find a transparent, open-source, open-data map that doesn't require downloading many GBs of maps before you can use it, which limits our ability to improvise, find points of interest and costs us time.
Our team and community members wished to have a combination of both: a map application that's easy to use, reliable, works out of the box immediately without the need for downloads, and still doesn't make millions by selling our habits and other private data." Details about the new application can be found in this FOSDEM talk.
