Signal is certainly not. It’s open source, and verifiably end-to-end encrypted. The only information that they have about you is your phone number, when your account was created, and when you last connected to the service.

Telegram is not so privacy friendly, with a major problem being that it’s not end-to-end encrypted by default.

Yes. The project seems to be in good hands while Micay is away. Regardless, the open nature of their work gives me additional confidence.

Exactly. This was always a trivial performance difference, but the toggle was added just to satisfy anyone who might hear such a statement and be unreasonably concerned.

Some basic information, including building numbers, can also be edited from within Organic Maps.

Address based search works, but the data is largely lacking.

You can help by adding building numbers from within Organ Maps (tap a building and, then “edit place”).

The underlying OSM dataset supports building number interpolation, so even a few accurate entries could be very helpful.

Open maps will improve greatly in the near future. The Overture Maps Foundation is working on an open mapping dataset to rival Google.
