I haven't used Google Maps in like 5+ years, and was absolutely stunned when I saw recent screenshots of it. Who wants that many ads on their maps when better options are out there?
- adlpz 4y agoI'm looking for alternatives. What's out there for my two common use cases? - Car navigation through Carplay that includes traffic data. - Finding businesses i.e. restaurants, shops, services quickly. I'm not loving GMaps lately buy tbh it does work as expected in those scenarios.
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoI'm on an iPhone now to escape El Goog, so I have Apple Maps, which has a reasonably excellent privacy policy. But a third party I'd highly recommend is HERE Maps. Quality can be a bit more regionally variable but it was very good for me. A bunch of car manufacturers use them.
- dagw 4y agoI'd highly recommend is HERE Maps I've tried using HERE Maps and I loved the offline maps and navigation. However the business and point-of-interest search was pretty terrible. I had to basically use Google every time to find the address of the place I was going to and then enter that address into HERE.
- tobinfekkes 4y agoI appreciated the "El Goog" reference. I chuckled. Thank you.
- influx 4y agoI use Apple Maps and prefer the CarPlay interface. Google maps still seems better for searching businesses, but most of the time I’m going to an address in city or suburbs.
