I’ve been messing around with Magic Earth and Organic Maps recently.
I immediately noticed that when I type a home address in Magic Earth, the app can take me to the exact house on the block.
However, when I type the same home address in Organic Maps, the app can only take me to the street where the house is. It can find the exact house.
Why is this the case? I thought both Magic Earth and Organic Maps used the same map data behind the scenes…
Thanks for clarification. I assumed they have their own DB of POIs but they mention somewhere that their data comes from the OSM contributors.
In Magic Earth: Settings -> Support -> About -> Third party licenses.
That’s Magig Earth. I was talking about Magic Lane.
Yeah, Magic Earth uses Magic Lane as an engine, OSM as data, and a lot external sources for transit data, what is the point.
Magic Lane mentions that their data is from OSM on their homepage, but does not “advertise” it (right at the top), as the information is found quite far down on their page. That’s all.
