German tourists lost for more than a week after Google Maps mishap - Lemmy

Should’ve used Waze
You people do know osm exists right? Just use something like organicmaps then you have navigation and routing even without cell network.
Can you search residential addresses in organic maps? I had to use some shitty address to coordinate converter before.
Yeah it does, just tried it. The search is not forgiving in terms of typos tho. They also recently started supporting android auto(dont have a car so cant review) and it keeps getting great updates in general.
Cool thanks for checking. I mainly bike now and junked my car so I couldn’t comment on Android auto either. The one I borrow has the stock head unit.
This is probably supported by google maps, but one thing i really love is being able to select intermediate stops when plotting a route. Really useful for longer trips. You can also import .gpx track files if you wanna follow a route you saw somewhere.
