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!

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.

Waze is unfortunately owned by google for many years now.

Yes. I'm dumb today.

Kindly put, dear internet stranger!
