Content index
We want to dedicate a small and quick article to an application that seems interesting to us even if it may initially seem a bit niche. From Acastus-Photon you told us about it on Codeberg, the platform we use for errors and reports of alternatives.
It is a very interesting application especially for those who have chosen to have a telephone degoogled or even just for those who have decided to stop using Google Maps. One of the biggest problems shared by many when deciding to abandon Google Maps for one of its many alternatives it's the difficult management of research. OsmAnd in fact, one of the best-known alternatives to Google Maps has its own internal search system which is unfortunately very unusable.
Acastus-Photon helps us find point of interest
Acastus-Photon comes to our aid precisely on this front. In fact, you can use its search to easily find any point of interest. Subsequently you can share the result found on any application, even the one you use as alternative to Google Maps.
In this way thanks to this simple application you can in some way overcome the OpenStreetMap search problem taking just a couple more steps.
Acastus-Photon It also allows you to share your current location with anyone. Another interesting possibility is to search for points of interest around you.
OsmAnd and alternatives to Google Maps
Initially we were doubtful whether to create an ad hoc article dedicated to Acastus-Photon because we have already included it as a possible alternative in these articles: OsmAnd And Alternatives to Google Maps.
However, we often read about people who complain that they don't find the streets on OsmAnd. We therefore hope that this article dedicated to Acastus-Photon can help as many people as possible!
We end the article by saying that the main server is used by default for managing points of interest, however you are not obliged to use it and if you are able you will find here instructions for creating and using your own server.
