I found FOSS replacements for most Google products, the one that stuck around was Maps, until this week when I decided I can't use a product that no longer takes being accurate seriously when they pre-complied unnecessarily with Lake of America bullshit. They are eating their own tail. Luckily since the last time I tried maps alternatives it seems much, much improved and I think I'll be able to not slink back to maps--if anything there are more features and better controls. It's still a WIP but moving! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] randamumaki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (2 children) I found CoMaps works for my purposes on Android. It uses data from https://openstreetmap.org/ which works fine by itself on desktop. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 child) Yeah I'm using CoMaps too. I noticed yesterday they don't have a windows client, just iOS and Linux. Fair is fair and all but wish I had an option for windows desktop since most people don't always want to look at maps on an android form factor. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] randamumaki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 month ago You could always suggest they make a windows client, or maybe try to use WSL to install the linux client; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps Good luck in either case. :) permalink fedilink source parent
