What's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make? - Sopuli

I’ve got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort.

Google maps for navigation in unfamiliar places.

i really want to switch to OSM apps (and I have comaps) but (1) it’s not nearly as good at understanding addresses (e.g. “123 first avenue” when it has my gps coords instead of “cityname, First avenue 123 zipcode") and (2) doesn’t have nearly as many businesses mapped (e.g. i want to type in “Joe’s Restaurant” instead of the address bc i haven’t memorized it)

+1, maps is incredible and I wish a proper alternative existed. it’s the only thing keeping play services on my phone rn since I don’t have time to tinker with sandboxing it

Try Here We Go. It isn’t FOSS, but it isn’t google

Same. Although organic maps has worked for me for the most part. Haven’t needed gmaps for a hot minute. Although it would’ve made life easier on a few occasions

I occasionally need to use Google Maps but I’ve helped map my area on OSM which improved my experience. Most businesses in my town are now mapped.

I use Waze, I’ve no idea how much “not Google” is it, since it’s owned by Google. I’m trying comaps more and it’s quite good.
