That sucks it didn’t work well for you. Hopefully the useability is more improved the next time you may be willing to try again.

and very unwelcoming to any other viewpoint.

Thank you for providing a great example of this

Actually, that’s almost part of the problem ironically.

Most of the bus routes go down dedicated bus transitways to a main hub, which means the first bus goes 30 minutes North instead of West.

Or it takes prohibitively longer than a driving.

My wife considered taking the bus to work, but it would take 2 hours to get 20 minutes down the road.

Also add the fact that a bus pass is more expensive than our car insurance.

The app mentioned on the post, Organic Maps, has Android Auto. OsmAnd is another app that I know has it as well.

There hasn’t been a release in some time but work is still being done.

Oops, my CD just skipped and everyone just heard you let one rip.

Drive that slow on a rural county road at night and you’re going to have a bad time. There really aren’t that many people just stepping out into the road in front of a car at that time, your speed shouldn’t be dictated on that one factor alone.

You seem to be missing the point that if any people would be walking or biking down a rural road, they can be completely off the road, likely wearing something reflective or high visibility. Buggies are low visibility by design and take up a large portion of the road even when they are as far over as they possibly can be.

I don’t think forcing them to use electric lights is the proper approach, though.

This got me looking to see if there is any way to have a fallback as I have had something similar happen to me.

The general advice is to have a liveboot USB around. I even saw that you can have GRUB simply boot from an .iso file on the internal drives, which eliminates the need to keep a USB stick around.

I haven’t followed the steps yet but I’ll give this a shot because it intrigues me.

Under “Assets” on their Github Release page, they have two APKs listed. One is a web version and the other is a google version.

I did some experimenting and it seems like only the google version has Android Auto.

Organic Maps and OsmAnd both have Android Auto support.

I got a ticket for a remote site that said “there’s an error message and the computer doesn’t start” . there was no clarification what the error message actually said.

I spent about 20 minutes driving out there, turn the computer on:

“System battery voltage low. Press F2 to continue”

I did not have a battery with me. If they just said what the error was, I would have brought a battery with me. Now they have to wait for another tech to be scheduled to drive out to this location which could be a week later.

In the open source world, I take that as a highlight, not a warning.

I always thought the sung lyrics were “I went to a whore who said my life’s a bore”

This app is everything it needs to be. It looks modern, has nice visuals, I was able to import data from an old tracking app.

It’s such a nice feeling when you find an app that hits all the checkmarks and then you find out it’s FOSS as well.
