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!

Install StreetComplete and put some of them in. Spread the word, it’s really low effort.

Low effort and just super fun. I don’t know why but helping out while walking around activates the happy parts in my lizard brain.

People start contributing usually after they have used it successfully a few times. I understand “make yourself your own map” might not sound as the most appealing solution here.
