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 don’t think any open-source products have anything close to what Google Maps offers.

    Microsoft has Here which also does a bit of vehicle tracking to get traffic data. I think TomTom may still be in business, but that’s quite expensive.

    Some governments have their own accident/road disturbance databases available for companies or the public, but you’ll have to be lucky to find ones that support your local area if your government even provides such a service.
