Notice

The app in its current state may fit the screen and it is great to browse and locate oneself on offline maps (that use a lot less space than on PureMaps or Osmin) - but beyond that, other mapping apps are still better.

Work on a Kirigami port to make the app adaptive has been funded by nlnet.

In order not have the right bar go off screen, setting the QT_FONT_DPI=50 env var for the flatpak helps (at least on a OnePlus 6 at 300% scaling). This prevents the "Download $region" suggestions to move the menu off screen.
