Use of OpenStreetMap (OSM) instead of Google Maps (Gmaps)

[linux-lukas]

TL;DR Please make sure that Gematik makes it at least once to deliver a good digital health app - take responsibility!

Personally, I would urge that the integration of Google Maps (GMaps; especially since without obtaining consent....) from the e-prescription app for Android be replaced AS FAST AS POSSIBLE(!) with a local integration of OpenStreetMap (OSM).

From my point of view, in view of the "Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act" (TTDSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation, there is no leeway whether, but it is essential to include a local and offline available integration of a digital map.

WTF?! This app depends on ANY Google service?? Is that true? If so, I have only one question to the development team: "ARE YOU F*CKING CRAZY?"

You can't be serious about this. I think that the German Federal Data Protection Officer needs to be involved, if this turns out to be true.

Hi @Lukas2112,

thank you very much for filing this issue. We'll look into it and post updates here. Stay tuned!

We would in the future release make changes that the user can decide if they want to use google maps or open street maps.
