Ask HN: Is PocketEarth Abandonware?

4 points by IndySun ↗ HN
Looking to check in on Geomagik and Abe Heckenbach. PocketEarth for me is still the OSM wrapper to beat. But it appears dropped.

I've previously been in touch with Abe (I email the developers of every independent software I use), but nothing back from that email for over a year. The forum was overrun with spam over a year or more ago. Perhaps someone reading this knows.

Sorry to hijack this, but I have a question and I'm sure someone here knows the answer. No, not you, openai bot.

Is there a way to get an svg from a map given a point and a radius? there is? great. Is there an easier way?

Thanks.

Just checking - if you're suggesting my Ask HN is from a bot, it's not. And btw, that's a wild flailing hijack.

No. I just thought the submission would attract people that knew the answer to my question. haha. I failed as a hijacker.

After a concerning and significant gap PocketEarthPro has just updated. Anything to do with anyone here? Still no response from the support/info email though.
