I'm sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I'm tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

EDIT: Was not expecting so many replies, thank you Lemmy! I am checking out Open Street Maps currently thanks for the recommendations!

Any openstreet map clients, I enjoy magic earth

I use OsmAnd

I use osmand for hikes as it has all the obscure trails.

The ui could be better.

Have a look at Organic Maps if you don't need all the features of OSMand. It is simpler but more polished with a clean and tidy UI.

I’m trying them all out and magic earth seems to find the places I would typically nav to the easiest but OSM has more overlays
