Yandex maps

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 4 points 1 month ago

lol yeah maybe we should be more specific when we talk about Europe

[–] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.funami.tech 2 points 1 month ago

Magic Earth is also pretty good for cycling, though I will be checking out GeoVelo

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait so it also shows that in europe?

~~No, it shows Gulf of Mexico. The commenter just wanted to give some good alternatives that people could use~~

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Oh ok good. Yeah, I'm in the USA and I am trying to add more content as fast as I can into open maps so that these alternatives could be more useful.

Thanks for doing that ☺️

Sorry, I misread your question. Yes, google maps shows "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" in Europe as well :(

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Well at least the america part is between parenthesis, but fuck Google, Apple, and Microsoft for bowing to this orange turd.

Idk if it's European, but there's also Sygic Maps
