Roadmap

What OpenMapX supports, what is in development, and ideas for future work.

OpenMapX is experimental. Implementation does not mean every feature is enabled on the public instance or tested on every device. Priorities can change, and there are no release dates promised here. Follow the source repository for current development.

In the project today

The feature guide describes capabilities, coverage, and dependencies.

  • Search and everyday journeys

    Place search, nearby discovery, road and EV planning, public transport, and turn-by-turn guidance are in the project. Coverage depends on the providers and data enabled on each server.

    Implemented

    [Features]

  • Saved-place imports and sharing

    Import supported saved-place files, keep lists and labels, export individual lists, and share lists or ground journeys through revocable links.

    Implemented

    [Guide]

  • OpenStreetMap corrections

    Review and publish supported changes to existing OpenStreetMap places with your linked OSM account. New places and geometry changes use OpenStreetMap tools.

    Implemented

    [Guide]

  • Optional personal timeline

    View day history from a connected external or operator-managed Dawarich account. Location collection and editing stay in Dawarich.

    Implemented

    [Guide]

  • Offline maps and existing-route guidance

    Download supported map areas and continue driving, motorcycle, cycling, or walking navigation started online. This does not provide new offline routing, rerouting, search, or live updates.

    Implemented

    [Limits and setup]

  • Self-hosting and extensions

    Configure services and integrations, prepare data, inspect coverage and freshness, and install extension bundles through the admin panel and CLI.

    Implemented

    [Documentation]

In development

  • Native iOS and Android apps

    Native shell and release tooling are in development. Store distribution and real-device release validation are separate work; use the installable web app in the meantime.

    In development

    [Use the web app]

  • Mobile usability

    Keep improving planning, navigation, and settings on small screens as people use the app and report problems.

Ideas for later

These are possible directions, with no fixed scope, order, or delivery commitment.

  • Offline trip packs and place search

    Bundle a trip with destination details and map coverage, add a local place index, and support queued contributions when connectivity returns.

    Idea

  • EV planning around your stops

    Account for meals, overnight stays, and other planned stops when choosing charging stops across a journey.

    Idea

  • Recent activity and contribution status

    Build on local recent searches with a view of recent places and journeys and the status of submitted reports.

    Idea

  • Commute planning

    Show useful journey options and current travel times for Home and Work when opening the app.

    Idea

  • Community transit tracking

    Rider-contributed live transit data needs further upstream and privacy clarification before it can be considered for implementation. This capability is not available.

    Needs research

  • Restaurant reservations

    Add links from restaurant details to supported table-reservation services.
