WhoGo Maps is a full-featured app for maps and navigation with a flexible selection of mostly OpenStreetMap-based maps and related service providers. WhoGo Maps requires the Mapbox GL Native QML component for map display, supporting both vector and raster maps with OpenGL accelerated rendering.

Download at OpenRepos.

Source code and issue tracker are available at GitHub. Translations at Transifex.

Might have seen that settings page in some other application before?

Why a new name/app?
what are the differences?

New map component, Mapbox GL QML, as ported by rinigus. It brings vector maps, which works better across different size and different pixel density screens, rotates nicer, tilts for navigation and also the performance should be a lot better. It needed to be a new app as this is a big change, not yet fully proven technology, and will not work on older devices such as Jolla 1.

@otsaloma - congratulations! Great to see it released

As was announced from the beginning, Poor Maps GL - an intermediate step in this transition - has been removed from OpenRepos. All users are advised to move over to WhoGo Maps.

Congratulations again, great work!

Does this have a way to launch it from command-line with a destination? Saera currently uses its internal routing engine for directions, but I'd like to give users the option to use WhoGo Maps if it's installed.

... or "MeGo Maps", "WeGo Maps", "HereWeGo Maps" or simply "Go Maps"?

Seriously "WhoGo Maps" sounds strange (as if "Hugo Maps") and does not make much sense (or I just fail to see it), is somewhat cool, but primarily irritating.

But as this is @otsaloma's baby, all I / we can ask for is: Please reconsider this awkward name (for the apps sake; actually a catchy and bit flashy "Rich Maps" may suit the app best).

Mmm IMHO Whogo-Maps is good name, because It is not a generic name. But Hugo-Maps I like much, that Rich-Maps or whatever

So thanks @otsaloma for ur pretty work for it, Also to be original on name-app

No, unfortunately sailfish-qml doesn't support argument passing.
