I'm sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I'm tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

EDIT: Was not expecting so many replies, thank you Lemmy! I am checking out Open Street Maps currently thanks for the recommendations!

I use navmii for offline navigation. The search functionality is not so great, but the navigation works swell.

Mapy.cz are the best maps available on desktop and android. They use OSM as a source. There is some tracking but in this case it's worth the hassle.

Mobile Linux user, the two best maps I've found are mepo, and osmin (similar to OSMAnd on the goolag os). puremaps is also decent, and closer to what you expect with something like google maps in terms of feature parity, but it's much heavier ( not good on pinephone's anemic cpu and 3G of ram :( ). KDEs marble is interesting, but not a good mobile interface.

Yet you use the Goolag kernel? User, how could you!

For navigation, I chose Waze.

There seem to a new wave of navigation apps heading towards us that talk P2P rather than a central server.
