Lokjo - European online map

@lokjo@mapstodon.space

UPDATE 2: We're carefully back online again, with a few exceptions:

mapstodon.space/@lokjo/1146578

Can we have a lill boost please? The fediverse is the only place we're on.

We're a replacement for googlemaps.

European, non-commercial, pro-local.

Nice. Some commercial references seem a few years out of date though.

Oh yeah that can happen. We use OSM for data. It's maintained by a huge community, but can have some lag.

If you're interested you can adjust it by leaving a note on the map or just opening an account and helping out. :)

Just go here: osm.org

@lokjo @TimFinnerty what's the reason to use your site/service rather than OSM directly?

@CenturyAvocado @lokjo @TimFinnerty

Or, more generally, than some other OSM front end. For example, I normally use Organic Maps when mobile.

There's a claim that you show 'all shops' in the web site, but it looks as if you show the same ones that OSM shows. Google puts a lot of advertising into persuading business owners to list themselves and other metadata (opening hours and so on) that OSM can't match. Are you solving that problem somehow?

@david_chisnall @CenturyAvocado @TimFinnerty

Can't solve that, that depends on the OSM community who updates the location info.

@lokjo @david_chisnall @TimFinnerty

I'm still not sure what Lokjo offers over visiting www.openstreetmap.org ?

@CenturyAvocado @david_chisnall @TimFinnerty

OSM is a website made for data input, made for the people who update the actual dataset.

Our map has a user interface which makes it possible for non-tech people to use it like a normal mapsite (is that even a word?) And it works better with a modern looking map.
