Ah yes, because what we truly need in 2023 is a #DIY guide to turn our beloved e-readers into high-contrast #GPS devices. Why use an actual GPS when you can awkwardly fumble with your Kindle’s browser and a cascade of apps on your phone? It's like trying to navigate using a magnifying glass and a sundial.

Oh wow, another "best" open-source #OCR model, because apparently, every other one before it was just a warm-up act. GitHub's menu #navigation might be harder to decipher than any text this model could ever handle.

HERE WeGo | Maps & Navigation ...

#google #maps #navigation #alternative #alphabet #herewego

I am testing alternatives to Google Maps (or Apple Maps) at the moment.

To be honest, the usability of the open source software available is rather horrible, so I heard from an old friend: Here WeGo. Old friend, because it was #nokia here long ago.

The usability is very good! One time, the app hang up on me but overall this could become my daily driver
