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!

organic maps has gotten pretty good recently

There are no street numbers in osm for my city, Bend, OR. It has a population of 100,000+, so I'm guessing this app is really only useable for major cities.

Install StreetComplete and put some of them in. Spread the word, it's really low effort.

Low effort and just super fun. I don't know why but helping out while walking around activates the happy parts in my lizard brain.
