Curious to know, what viable alternatives did you discover?
- nesk_ 5mo agoKagi Maps isn't bad, it's slow but POIs are there with enough data.
- IG_Semmelweiss 5mo agoGmaps WV while using VPN. Download from Fdroid. Its miles ahead of something like Osmand , which i really, really, tried to like for a year, but its a UX disaster (i could never ever figure it out)
- Vinnl 5mo agoIs that a webview loading Gmaps? That's not what I expected to call "degoogling", haha. The OSMand UX is clearly not made for casual use, but Comaps is basically the main user-friendly application. It is missing a couple of commonly-used features though, most notably traffic information, which of course Google bases on data collected from its users.
- arendtio 5mo agoBetter use it now, because it has a best-before date of 2026/2027 (depending on when Google will enforce the developer identity registration).
- heyamitkmr 5mo agoOrganicMaps is a fantastic alternative - based on OSM data https://organicmaps.app/ https://organicmaps.app/
- guilhas 5mo agoI have used OsmAnd for maybe 10y. And it has been surprisingly good Several countries. Works offline. Saves the journey taken Not the best at finding places sometimes. Food places and ratings still has to be google or trip avisor, but those are very relative too. Wherever you go the key e some preparation anyway For direction I think it is rock solid
