  • OsmAnd: This map application is popular enough that it probably doesn’t need mentioning, but good golly is it a powerful tool. Great options for downloading maps and having them offline, and while the car navigation might be missing one or two key features that you’d expect from proprietary alternatives (like live traffic), the sheer amount of detail that has been crowdsourced is mindblowing. There are a wealth of trails and cycle routes, low level details like park benches, bridges, and lookout spots, and the various map profiles you can build are very customizable. I’m personally a huge fan of the trip recording plugin for tracking all my hikes, runs, bike rides, canoe trips, and even swims.






  • Some desktop environments set a default compose key, but you might have to set one manually. Common choices are the menu key or the right alt key if you don’t use it much.

    Mostly it just defines a set of pretty standard and sensible combinations to add accents or other modifiers to existing characters, but there’s quite a bit you can do with it.
