Thanks for this.
Do you know what happened to RMaps?
The previous page for it on fdroid 404s.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I added some extra info.
Do you know if there is a solution where you can pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?
GMaps WV will show 'No internet - Retry' if you are out of coverage areas, and is unusable offline.

Hi, I added extra info.
Do you know if it is possible to pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?
Also, is the MS Hybrid mapset installed from, Plugins --> AnyGIS online maps collection ?
RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC) What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid? How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view? Edit: Extra info is, I'm looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel. With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.

Nope, I've never posted, just remember it as a huge trove with a decent vibe.
Pretty sure it is just: create account and post.
I think some people add a CC licence to their works.

Lucky, we visited a friend's dad's workplace. The dad was a coder and showed us around, and also showed us Hack (a quick Basalisk battle).

I remember thinking the original Hack was the greatest thing in the world, when seeing it on PC in '85 or '86.
I've got respect for Nethack, and recommend everyone take a look at Nethack to see where all roguelikes came from.

I tried Naev before and it looks very polished.
A little too involved for me, the whole star-trading style. I never got into Elite during the Amiga/ST years, but I get how polished and layered Naev and Endless Sky are.
Get into it people, if those are your type of games!
These are the FLOSS games that stand out, list your own favourites or most-play games. --//-- I would rate all of these, as worth a try: Shattered Pixel Dungeon Cube2:Sauerbraten SGT-Puzzles Andor's Trail AssaultCube Minetest Neverball/Neverputt PowderToy 0ad Fillets-ng Anuto TD Xmoto/Bloboats Flightgear Kobo Deluxe Enigma (oxyd) LiquidWar5 H-Craft Championship Numpty Physics Wesnoth The Dark mod Have completed SuperTuxKart, BlobWars 1&2, Flare, Frozen Bubble, Hex-a-Hop, Holotz's Castle, SearchAndRescue II, Alex the Alligator, Project:Starfighter, Stormbaan Coureur, Trigger, all are fun. --==-- Can find details about most of the above games here: https://libregamewiki.org/List_of_games FLOSS gaming is excellent, thanks to all these devs and asset creators. --++-- BONUS TOMT: I'm looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points, to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.
That's it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water? (Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)

Some calming sand raking. Best with low or no-volume. About 30 other similar videos from this channel.
Is the Amazfit Bip still a good choice for simple duration/route/heartrate/step/sleep tracking? It works with gadgetbridge out of the box, with no need to connect with other software or create a remote account. 20-30 day battery life. I saw the PineTime today, which looks interesting. I've tried a Bip Pro, but it requires a connection and account before being usable with gadgetbridge. What are the other options to consider? Which watches have higher accuracy for sleep/HR/step metrics?

Know your enemy. This video is an interesting behind-the-scenes look into the capabilities and senses of each different enemy in the 1993 videogame DooM. * Bonus content and nostalgia: A look at where consumer available FPS began with [Maze Wars+ (1987)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToEuS4sgGvY) Maze Wars+ was the first experience of a networked-multiplayer-graphical-game for many people, and completely mindblowing for the era. * For a current quality FPS experience, see [Cube 2: Sauerbraten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_2:_Sauerbraten)
I'm interested if anything was visible from the Perth metro area. Will it only show up in dark-sky places away from towns. Can also post if you saw it anywhere else in WA too. Location, day and time etc.
