OpenOrienteering Mapper
APK
OpenOrienteering Mapper is an orienteering mapmaking program and provides a free and open source alternative to existing commercial software. OpenOrienteering Mapper runs on Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.While it is under continuous development and considered in beta state, it has been used to produce maps for classical orienteering, MTBO and radio orienteering races. All required functions for drawing maps are implemented and the program works very stable. So it can be considered ready for productive use, although it is like always a good idea to keep backups of your files. We are happy about feedback to the program.

Qz
APK
Receive live traffic news via Traffic Message Channel (TMC) Qz (pronounced “queues”) connects to an RDS/TMC receiver to receive live traffic messages. TMC is transmitted in the RDS data stream of various radio channels and provides live traffic information, helping you avoid congestions. For a list of countries in which this app can be used, see https://gitlab.com/mvglasow/qz/wikis/countries. In order to use this app, you will need a supported RDS/TMC receiver. The following devices are currently supported: * GNS FM9-BT (requires Bluetooth) * Silicon Labs Si4701/4703-based USB tuners (requires USB OTG support) If you are unable to pick up any traffic messages, despite having a supported device and being in an area which should be supported, check your antenna. Reception with pigtail antennas (a long piece of wire coming out of the receiver) is generally poor and insufficient for TMC. It is recommended to rely on your vehicle antenna, a building antenna or a somewhat decent room antenna. Qz will only work with unencrypted TMC services (as encrypted services require paying a per-device royalty). Also, some countries have chosen to require paying a royalty for access to their location tables (which Qz needs to decode TMC locations) and are therefore not supported.
