So… who’s got a replacement for Apple’s Maps app that they recommend?
@davedelong there's no maps without ads. for driving Waze is good tho.
@davedelong OrganicMaps on Andoid from f-droid.

@ben @davedelong or CoMaps forked from Organic Maps, because of reasons detailed here:

I also recommend the app named Every Door to participate in adding/editing the OpenStreetMap data, which benefits every one.

@davedelong The things is real life is full of advertising. Can’t espace it. I watch videos of North Korea to relax at night 😅

@davedelong CoMaps or Organic Maps ?

They don't offer as many features, but they are still quite good. And no ads.

@davedelong CoMaps is good, but I find its transit support wanting since it doesn't include Muni in routing or show next-bus predictions. But it does work when nothing else does (because offline support) and it doesn't have ads.
@davedelong something I haven't read much about is how this is (to me) a desperate Hail Mary to finally have good business locations and data in Apple Maps. When it comes to business location, info, and opening times Google Maps is far superior, because people actually can and go edit their Google Business information. It can even be crowd sourced. I despise and dislike the idea of those ads but I think this is them surrendering in the hopes of motivating better data? 🤷
@davedelong Apple Maps on iOS 18
@atomicbird @davedelong I was actually wondering if this “feature” would back port to earlier iOS releases.
