Every time you open Google Maps, it logs where you are, what you searched, and where you went next.

We interviewed the co-founder of Organic Maps, an open source app that collects none of that. New Techlore Talks out now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/XCzVQKLBkhM

I've tried organic, as well as Osmand+ .. Both don't work for my use case. I use google maps only for finding places nearby and to see the corresponding reviews.
And that’s where I got poor - or even terrible results with these two apps.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative app?

Navigation is done by car navi.

Edit: maybe I should say that I live in germany, so foursquare isn't an option and yelp is not used that much here 😂
