Organic Maps, the privacy-focused, open-source alternative to Google Maps, celebrates its 4th anniversary. The project came to life during Christmas week of 202…
Thank you.
It didn’t automatically show map in screen like with Google maps, so I assumed Google probably doesn’t allow other apps to do that. I’ll take bit more time to test it out next time.
If you installed from fdroid you have to ensble unknown sources in androud auto settings. These are the instructions from another app, but the procedure is the same
It is possible to use URL Radio on Android Auto if you have enabled unknown sources in Android Auto developer settings.
To enable:
Go to Android Auto settings and tap Version about 10 times to enable developer settings.
Tap on the hamburger menu on the top right and tap on Developer Settings.
I want to use this, but does it have car integration? Since I got a car, I had to enable a lot of google services for map through Android auto.
Yes it works on Android Auto.
This suggests yes: https://organicmaps.app/faq/app/how-to-use-android-auto/

It’s possible that it doesn’t work if you installed it from elsewhere than the Play Store (e.g. F-Droid). I do not know for sure though.
I did install it from fdroid.

Thanks. Hopefully it’s not a security problem. If any apps (bank/insurance) might be able to connect because of this.
