Title is editorialized because the original is, frankly, clickbait garbage
I am pretty over these videos of people whining about the amount of data big tech collects while refusing to move to alternatives because “muh convenience”.
For those unaware, Organic Maps (uses OSM) is really good! It’s good for 90% of all ur navigation needs. For the rest 10%, there’s no good alternative to google maps unfortunately.
Well change can only be done through voicing disapproval first, although Google will most definitely won’t stop the data gathering in Maps.
Well It’s understandable if a lot of people wouldn’t switch over to OSM-based apps. I’ve tried OSMAnd, and I observe 3 drawbacks. Lengthy public transport calculation (fair since it’s computing on the phone), no reviews in POI areas (really hard to catch up on), weird results in transportations
