Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour
eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 2 months agoWhile not FOSS, the closest thing we have to a drop-in replacement would be Magic Earth. It uses openstreetmap data, supports fully offline usage, has satellite images (only online though) and best of all, no tracking or telemetry.

It’s it better than organic maps?

It has a better car navigation interface and some nice features like traffic amd live events data, but it really looks like it’s update much, if any at all. Organic Maps is a little more barebone, but it constatly gets new features

I significantly prefer it for car navigation, it seems to always pick ‘more sensible’ routes than Organic Maps. Also the live traffic is very nice to have.
I prefer Organic Maps when I’m on foot, ie. walking through the city or hiking. Imo it feels less cluttered when you just want to look at a map.
