I installed Organic Maps on my iPhone several months ago but didn't really use it much. Over the weekend I started using it w/ CarPlay in my car.

I like it. It's a little more "technical" looking than Apple's mapping and better looking than Android (I haven't used Android Auto in more than a year). Sort of a middle ground between the two and I prefer it.

The map movement on the screen is kinda old-timey, quaint looking but I don't mind it. The map rotation is not smooth, herky-jerky in ~15 deg increments and the pointer "vibrates" but it is accurate and kinda neat to watch. Perhaps there are options to add map movement smoothing but I couldn't find it.

The dynamic zooming and perspective changes are very neat as well.

Routing worked perfectly fine. The ETA calcs are not as accurate as the other platforms (I figure the others use crowd sourced real road average speeds - which is scraping and processing user data effectively).

I have a bunch of feature request ideas - do I dare open a bunch of tix for the backlog? Ha!

Anyway, recommended.

EU Court of Justice in #AndroidAuto: ‘the dominant undertaking [ #Google ] cannot rely on technical reasons to prevent #interoperability ad infinitum. While this process may take some time…this grace period is not unlimited.’ 🚀 theplatformlaw.blog/2025/04/04

There is so much good available in the public domain. I just found LibriVox, a volunteer-run audiobook project for public domain books. The quality is okay and depends on the volunteer's skills and equipment, but it's free even without making an account.

I use it on my phone and it works well with Android Auto. #audiobooks #reading #literature #AndroidAuto #librivox

The Pine Phone Pro arrived earlier this week. After a few unfocused, false starts I finally got it booting into Gnome on PostmarketOS and currently installing Waydroid over ssh.

My wife uses a cheesey coupon clipping app (iOS/Android) for doing the groceries and such. I'll need to take a look at what traffic flows in-n-out of this app to see what is being farmed and segregate/container off if required.

We are heavy Signal users but I may use this as an excuse to set up a XMPP server. Twas on the 'roadmap'.

Initial impressions are good. Definitely not as shiny and smooth as an iOS or Android device but - it's a phone. We spent half our lives with dumb rotary dialing doohickeys - we'll survive. lol

Pretty impressed with Gnome on a touch device so far. This is my first real experience with it. No 'klunkiness' so far but just scratching the surface.

It will be interesting to see how a non-technical person takes to it. I'm going to monkey with it myself for the first week or so to find the hard edges to save her the frustration.

I want to experiment with Android Auto - see what (if anything) is possible.

I also obtained a Seeed Studio Sensecap T1000-E (meshtastic, lora, etc.) to connect to this device. We'll see how far I get with that.

I really need a staff... 🙃 Ha!

Random musings and questions with zero recent research...

You can install the Apple CarPlay dev kit on a Linux host and then connect your iPhone to that CarPlay instance.

I'd assume the same is possible with Android Auto (Linux with AA SDK allows Android phone connection).

What about connecting a Linux device to a CarPlay/AA computer/car?.

On the Linux 'client' device you'd have to have the Linux apps [possibly Android apps] be able to connect to CarPlay/AA.

Is there a standard for that? Programming or packaging or both?

Use case: I want to create Linux apps that can be used on an car's OEM CarPlay/AA interface.

Also, the car's CarPlay/AA setup may eventually be replaced with a Linux host running the respective SDKs for CP/AA.

Surely this isn't a unique idea? Something exists?

I'll probably edit this as I turn it over more in the brane pane.
