When the browser has no active credentials for Brave Pro, the panel UI will promote the service and include the initial payment CTA. When credentials are present the panel UI will include the appropriate toggles for making changes to the default settings."

Found out about OSMand via Lemmy recently and have since been contributing via 'StreetComplete' on android. I've been enjoying making edits myself. Cool to see people doing it all over the world. The way its layed out is pretty cool. Pair it with some slow jams and you got yourself a good time.
