  • Not only the content doesn’t exist yet, it’s just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).

    And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.

    The interface is so much cleaner and soo much faster, both the UI and the map rendering, especially on some less powerful devices.

    OsmAnd is full of feature and a beautiful app, but the interface is very complex and at times quite cluttered. CoMaps has more compressed map files, faster and (objective opinion) better looking render, is faster to load and uses less battery. I use them both for different goals.

    CoMaps is great if you just want to open a map and see where you are, what is around you, which paths you can take, where the nearest water is and what are the landmarks around you, all without complex UI widgets and complex search, just a plain simple (beautiful) map.

    But if a civilization is peaceful, would it exterminate another just because they are a threat? It seems quite ruthlessy egoistic. Maybe they would just intervene at some specific point, without extermination but by somehow gatekeeping our expansion and letting us live without spreading evil.
