IOS maps, download maps are outdated

[ismailiconium]

I installed the app from appstore for ios. The whole maps for Turkiye (=Turkey) is 635,3 MB, i have maps.me installed on the same device with whole maps for Turkiye 1,16 GB. what is the cause of difference, are the linked to different repo's for downloading the maps, or does maps.me add additional information to there maps. They should use the same source for download, assuming the download from openstreetmaps..

may be the same issue/cause

I do not know what has been added/included in other apps/maps. Maybe someone wants to investigate and compare.

do you think maps.me added extra data to original openstreetmaps? you are right, if i zoom in at both maps, then maps.me has detailed information with building names, firm names etc... this can be the cause of the file size. both maps doest have street names....

thanks

I doubt it. Organic Maps has more data from OSM.

thread getting more interesting... then the question remains, what is the cause of different in sizes between maps?

You can try to check it using generator_tool. It has some flags to print map stats.

IOS maps, download maps are outdated

If you use the latest version and did all map updates the data in Organic Maps (OM) is definitely not outdated, but form May 11th 2024. You can check by clicking on the OM logo in the tool bar. The About OM page lists how old the map data is.

They should use the same source for download, assuming the download from openstreetmaps..

The maps used in OM are not directly downloaded from OpenStreetMap (OSM). The maintainers fetch the OSM data about once a month, do some pre-processing and compress the data. The OM app then downloads the data from the OM Servers. The good compression of OM is the reason why map sizes in OM are smaller than in most other applications. But this doesn't explain the difference to Maps.me, as Maps.me probably (it's closed source, so hard to check) uses a very similar compression.
