I've been building https://github.com/styluslabs/maps with support for 3D terrain, custom layers, and plugins for search and routing.

Vector tiles are generated and served on-demand by https://github.com/styluslabs/geodesk-tiles so there's no need to download an entire country or region first.

A good OSM app for desktop is sorely needed, I'll be sure to check this out. Thanks for building this as free software and for making it available on Linux. Nicely detailed README as well.

You should probably submit a Show HN.

edit: just checked it out, building and running it on Linux was very easy. Nice!

Wow the readme looks very impressive, would love to try this on my next off grid trek

Is it just you building it, is there a business behind it?

[pbsurf]

No business, just me!

A new maps app and a revival of Tangram ES from the developer of my favourite note taking app, I'm glad I checked this comments section :)

And I see you open-sourced Write, thanks!

But can you download a country up front? For offroad motorcycle trips I often get in to areas with no mobile connectivity

[pbsurf]

Yes, you can download any region and set of layers for offline use.

Why not Maplibre ? I'm curious.
