@MangoPenguin @Sidyctism2 Google ecosystem aside, this could be solved partially by just having more POIs with tags (cuisine=Thai;gluten_free) or such.

Google still isn’t absolutely amazing at it, I regularly try to find dog friendly stuff via Google and fail, even though it searches reviews and the Q&A.

But metadata helps, always!

Overture POI could help with this too, not sure if gluten free but stuff like Halala and Vegetarian are restaurant categories for Overture POIs

@InsertUser @mamus @openstreetmap ah yeah makes sense

@TheFrirish @mamus what does white elephant mean

@retiolus @openstreetmap @organicmaps I think it’s fair for apps to become financially viable, and really poor form when people criticize apps for trying to be financially viable. The Organic Maps team does a ton of unpaid work and yet people use it and expect developers to work for them for free, but also reject apps that are built by paid developer working in for profit companies. I applaud Organic Maps finding a way to ensure it has long and healthy future!
