So everyone's switching to foss alternatives, right?
OSM?
Spread the word, share with your friends, etc.
I recommend CoMaps on Android, (or Organic Maps, which CoMaps forked from when Organic started enshitifying)
CoMaps is awesome.
Curious for myself and the people on the thread, looks like it's based on OSM still. What does CoMaps offer over OSM?
Well, shit.
edit: To be clear, CoMaps and OpenStreetMaps is still leagues better than Google Maps for privacy, respecting users, etc and I recommend people switch. But it’s still a community-run project which means the community needs to participate to keep it awesome.
If we read the rest of that thread they are ~~but~~ not changing the name. They are adding a tag stating it has an alternate name.
Edit: fixed typos.
