I have been happily using OsmAnd while traveling outside my coverage area. Anybody have pros or cons of each of these? I just downloaded this one and didn’t really like that it automatically began downloading 250 megabytes of my localish region. In some places that would eat up my entire data package. I would rather it asked.

Did you put it back in the refrigerator? Did Mom find it under your bed? This wasn’t an accident; someone made an intentional power move and your family is toxic.

Or is it more of an age-gated thing

Depends how old you consider old, maybe? Computers back in the day were pretty universally light text on a dark background. VIC-20 was an exception but then even Commodore backpedaled on that with the 64. But you might have had a different experience and are only remembering things like Mac OS or Amiga, or Windows, and maybe that has influenced your preference. 🤷‍♀️ To each their own, anyway.

I had the FlashAir which is more or less the same thing. Loved it. Used it for quickly retrieving underwater photography without unsealing the camera as well as backing up dashcams, security cameras, and other such quality of life, never have to touch it kind of applications. I would totally buy more if they come back in fashion. Micro SD is probably impossible, but a girl can dream, can’t he?

This is beside the point, but it might help some people in the short term: I was able to switch my subscription plan without penalty and then cancel immediately without the cancellation fee. Maybe that still works.
