Using a different mapping app

Oct 13, 2025 by ludoplayers7.com 128 views

Problem Description

When using Organic Maps on a computer, users often encounter a frustrating issue where clicking on a stop does not register it as a selected stop. Instead, the application focuses on the OpenStreetMap node, making it difficult to navigate and plan routes. This problem can be particularly annoying when trying to create a new route or edit an existing one.

Ideal Solution

The ideal solution would be to remove the intermediary stop on computer, allowing users to directly select stops without the application focusing on the OpenStreetMap node. This would make the navigation and route planning process much smoother and more efficient. When a user clicks on a stop, the application should immediately register it as a selected stop, without any intermediate steps.

Current Workaround

Currently, users have to rely on workarounds to achieve the desired result. One common approach is to use the keyboard to select stops, by pressing the "Enter" key or the "Space" key to toggle the selection. However, this method can be time-consuming and may not be suitable for all users, especially those who prefer to use the mouse for navigation.

Alternative Solutions

There are a few alternative solutions that users have considered to solve this issue:

Using a different mapping app: Some users have considered switching to a different mapping app that does not have this issue. However, this may not be a viable option for users who are invested in Organic Maps and have already learned how to use it.
Using a different computer: Another alternative is to use a different computer or device that does not have this issue. However, this may not be a practical solution for users who only have access to one computer.
Using a third-party plugin or extension: Some users have considered using a third-party plugin or extension to modify the behavior of Organic Maps. However, this may not be a reliable solution and may require technical expertise.

Additional Context

To better understand the issue, here are some additional screenshots and context:

Screenshot 1: This screenshot shows the Organic Maps application with the intermediary stop issue. As you can see, the application is focusing on the OpenStreetMap node instead of registering the selected stop.
Screenshot 2: This screenshot shows the keyboard shortcut for selecting stops in Organic Maps. As you can see, the "Enter" key is used to toggle the selection.
Screenshot 3: This screenshot shows the Organic Maps application with the selected stop highlighted. As you can see, the application is now registering the selected stop correctly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the intermediary stop issue in Organic Maps on computer is a frustrating problem that can make navigation and route planning difficult. The ideal solution would be to remove the intermediary stop, allowing users to directly select stops without any intermediate steps. While there are some alternative solutions available, they may not be suitable for all users. We hope that this feature request will be considered and implemented in future updates of Organic Maps.
