I think we can choose the name of a famous cartographer whose name is easy to pronounce in any language.

And then,

[Cartographer Name] + ["Maps" in your language]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cartographers

Under the 15th century heading, "Piri", the cartographer who prepared the top map among the sample maps shown there, would be a good name.

Or maybe, "Orbis" and "Battista" under the 16th century heading.

So Piri Maps, Orbis Maps, Battista Maps, etc.

battista is long and would often be spelled wrong. Piri and Orbis are fine, but Orbis sounds better and starts with an O XD

Note that there is a university library software called orbis, but well you cant avoid that

Orbis makes me think of something sciency like the earth is in orbit or an orb. I like that

Males me think of Jacques Cartier whose surname sounds like Cartes (French for map).

Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?

My first instinct is "Here We Go Again" but I think there's an existing map company that would take exception to that.

this one sounds good. it's short and memorable

[-] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Haha when I got the notification email I thought you meant that "merde" as an app name was good, short, and memorable ๐Ÿ˜‚

~~Social Street Maps~~

I feel like it should be something that rolls off the tongue. Something easy to search and not awkward to recommend irl. Sucks because Organic Maps was pretty good in both those cases
