Hi all,
I wanted to drop a note here about a Pinephone-related project I'm working on - its a minimalist (and fast!) OSM map viewer targeting good compatibility/support with mobile Linux. The project name is Mepo. There are some demo videos & you can learn more at the project's homepage:
https://sr.ht/~mil/mepo/
As for features it does POI searches, routing, bookmarks, offline mode, and some other neat stuff.
Right now its packaged for Alpine (postmarketOS edge), and NixOS.
For UI support: I'm working on Phosh compatibility for the next release (0.4) and its already quite usable in Sxmo and on desktop Linux (wayland & X).
I'm posting here as outside of the Sxmo mailing list, I haven't mentioned the project in many other places (!) but wanted to make sure the community is aware of the project! Feel free to file tickets on the bug tracker on sr.ht and also I can answer questions here. Trying to gather some more feedback and the project is open for contributions/suggestions etc. My idea is to beat the Google Maps/Apple Maps experience and offer a superior freedom-respecting and hackable experience for the Pinephone et al.!

Update: 1.0 has been released, you can read more at the mailing list update at:
https://lists.sr.ht/~mil/mepo-devel/%3C4...ail.com%3E
With the new release, mepo now supports Phosh, Sxmo, and now Plasma Mobile out-of-the-box.
Additionally per request a flatpak has been added as well to Flathub so usage on Mobian and other distros is now doable, see:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.milesalan.mepo
On postmarketOS edge, to install you can run:
See the install guides for other distributions at: http://mepo.milesalan.com/installguide.html
A new documentation website is at: http://mepo.milesalan.com
And demo videos are at: http://mepo.milesalan.com/demos.html
