Because of course there’s going to be ads. The enshittification of all things continues.

If you're an Apple Maps user looking for an alternative, there's a number of apps that display the OpenStreetMap data, which is a free and open map (which you can contribute to, it's kind of like wikipedia for maps). I use one called Organic Maps, but there are others as well.

    Yeah not sure what’s the best option and was considering making a post to ask. I’ve looked at these in the past but don’t know enough about each project.

    Organic Maps

    OsmAnd

    CoMaps

    I tried using a couple different apps that use OSM, but when adding and revising info on the maps someone reviewing the info i am submitting is being an ass and denying all of my changes.

    This is so frustrating because OSM should be more accurate and up-to-date because anyone can edit it, not just Apple employees, except we're hurting for contributors, and petty tyrants like that dillweed who keeps blocking your edits mean we lose even those we do have. Ugh I hate it and I'm sorry that's your experience.

    They even denied edits regarding my own business, like they know stuff about my business better than the owner does. I was really excited to be using something other than apple/Google maps, but their behavior sent me back to apple.
