I know I should’ve used libreoffice spreadsheet for this 😅
This is cool, Thank you for making it. Do the downloads include github and other store downloads?
It was my pleasure ;)
I’m not sure how to check GitHub downloads and Appstore downloads are only visible to the developers.
Some things I learned.
Maps.me is the predecessor to organic maps.
Google Maps Go is basically just the browser version of Google maps meant for low memory phones.
It’s OpenStreetMap, not maps, the last character is “p”.
There are other related lemmy communities:
OSM has it’s own mastodon instance en.osm.town, a lot of users comments from there.
I don’t know how you selected these apps for comparison. There are some other well known osm based apps: Magic Earth and Mapy.cz are proprietary, but very good quality, Osmand is partially foss. It would be interesting to compare om to those as well.
I’m not really sure pie charts are the best way to visualise this data. What about people who has multiple apps downloaded?
Where does the contributor number of gmaps come from? Is everyone who added a shop or joke becomes a contributor or is this the google employees only?
I have made edits to Google Maps geometry, not just closed businesses.

It based on the number of local guides.
That includes people who have made like 5 reviews, you should redact that graph as it is heavily skewed and doesn’t mean anything unless it is accurate
All of these graphs don’t make a lot of sense. Apple maps is preinstalled on apple devices, so I guess that’s why they don’t review it. Last time I used gapps on android gmaps was included in all packages except the smallest one, it’s also preinstalled on most android devices so I don’t understand why some people would review it, but not apple maps on the other platform? On the play store chart, gmaps is only those who doesn’t have it preinstalled but downloaded it manually, or it includes everyone?
And comparing 2 lemmy communities by number of subscribers not by active contributors?
It was a good exercise about how to create pie charts in excel, and grats for that OP, but doesn’t give a lot of info. I don’t want to sound harsh, it’s a constructive criticism, keep creating charts! But don’ use pie charts for these kind of data. I would be interested in an updated version with more options included, fixed spelling of osm, a bit more explanation and more fitting type of charts.
