Switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps a couple months ago, and I’d like to Switch to an alternative that doesn’t implement fascist place names, but navigation with toll road avoidance unfortunately doesn’t seem to be a common feature 😕
Thanks for the recommendation! Can’t remember why I hadn’t tried Organic Maps when testing alternative options, but already glad to see the Gulf of Mexico keeping its proper name. Going on a roadtrip in a few days, so I’ll get a chance to properly test it out then. 👍
I like organic maps but unless you’re in a very major city with a lot of people contributing, the information can frequently be out of date and it is not very good at finding optimal roots (I’m not even talking about the complete lack of traffic data).
It often just looks for the shortest distance between two points which can put you on some wacky paths. Still, if i’m not in a rush/don’t have my kids in the car, I will often use it. It’s a B+ experience which I’m happy to accept for open source/no tracking and selling my data/etc

Organic Maps is pretty neat

Any alternative will just be bought up anyway since America decided monopolies are no longer a bad thing.
