I tend to use maps from a search browser and it suddenly occurred to me that if the search engine I used defaulted to open street maps I would use it. Do any search engines default map searches to open street maps?

    i recently learned on my android phone that after i disabled the default mapping app [google “maps”] it gave me the option to open maps from websites and other apps in one of the different mapping apps i had installed at the time: StreetComplete, Organic Maps [both OSM-based] and Randomnautica [which defaults to and re-enabled google “maps”] and gave options to open once in app chosen or to use it every time.

    i am not sure if you use android, this is moot on desktop and others. commenting with the hope it might help someone someday. i hope this post isn’t too old to be commenting on.

      I go by the motto that a post is never to old to be commented on. I sorta hated with some forums where topics would get auto locked or something due to age.
