The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The thing which really stops me from Google Maps alternatives is the lack of reviews. Very useful.
Plus, goddamn I wish they would modernize their UIs.
There's an issue open for the Organic Maps project to implement Mangrove Reviews
Yeah, that's a big one. Have you considered Here Wego? Its european and integrates TripAdvisor reviews (yes, US I know. Still better than feeding Google Imo). It doesn't have everything but for restaurants and POIs it usually has the info you need if you live in a bigger city.
That’s what I use, works pretty good so far.
Ah gotcha. Strabic me completely misunderstood your comment lol.
Nah I'm not OP so you got it right, just meant to second your comment that Here WeGo is pretty darn good at least in Europe.
Just took a look but the reviews for the app seem not great.
It's one of those apps where you can't go by the reviews.
Basically they changed the interface quite a bit recently and so old customers got upset. But I use the app daily and they are seriously improving it to the point that I'm relying less and less on Google Maps. They keep adding more and more business details to the app.
If we were having this conversation a few months ago I would have said something different, so really the Improvements have been noticeable lately. I recommend that you give it a go for a couple of days at least and see how it serves you.
OSMAnd is pretty good.
Yup. It's tough. People don't understand it this way but Google Maps is actually a social network, in addition to the navigation features. It's an absolutely huge plus and I wish someone else would integrate the social features. It has given them the largest and most helpful worldwide POI database that exists, afaik.
