CoMaps is a nice offline alternitive. Not perfect,but it respects privacy

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

to be clear this isn't a privacy issue. they are allowing companies to pay to be featured more prominently in the app.

Sure, but one can argue that data is being exchanged for ads.

Regardless, CoMaps is still a solid offline app that is being worked on. I wish we had a better version of Google or Apple maps without the bloat

Might give it a spin, currently using Organic Maps.

It was forked off if Organic Maps because if a difference of philosophy. Organic Maps wanted to add more proprietary components to their app.
