bossitoLeave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more
soaringbirdieDoes anyone have a good replacement for Google Maps? I feel like options like OpenStreetMap and Here We Go don’t have many points of interest, especially in smaller cities. The ones that do exist are often not up to date. It’s a tedious job updating POIs yourself
As far as I am aware, open street maps is the most mature non corporate maps app, I think unfortunately at present you have to deal with its quirks or run apple or google maps.
All other non-us maps mentioned here are, afaik, based on openstreetmap. OpenStreetMap itself is a database rather than a useful googlemaps replacement for navigation etcetera.
Apps like Mapy and CoMaps are more useful for day-to-day use.
zu potato@soaringbirdie @bossito Can also recommend Magic Earth, works surprisingly well, and they are proudly Europeans
JiffyBagFor travel, I’ve tried CoMaps and CityMapper and Magic Earth
I always end up coming back to CityMapper because its nicely made and does what I need best; which is public transport routes.
