In a nutshell, this prototype (!) Android-only app is just an interface to Google's Places API, specifically the Text Search (New) endpoint.
Search for places using natural language, then tap one of the icons on the right
of a search result. The left icon is Copy. Tapping it puts the place's
coordinates in your clipboard for pasting into a calendar event, sending to a
friend, etc. The middle Share button opens Android's share sheet so you can send
the location coordinates, open location code, name and address to other people
and apps. The icon on the right, Open, opens the coordinates in any installed
app that knows how to handle geo:
Intent URIs. That includes e.g. Organic
Maps, OsmAnd, Google Maps, Waze, and more.
This app is a prototype. If people like it, we may extend it with a server-side component that hides all PII (e.g. IP addresses) from Google for a small monthly fee. For now, however, the prototype is free to test.
Download the app from the refs page. Click the title of the latest release,
then click the link ending in .apk
. You'll need to allow installing apps from
unknown sources. If you don't know how to do so, wait until we have the app in
F-Droid.
Until we get it in F-Droid, either follow the RSS feed or pay attention to the Sopranica MUC (web).
The server component is at ~amolith/adresilo-server.
