We all remember the usa and google doing this to The Gulf of Mexico don't we?

That is why we no longer accept US people referring to themselves as Americans, they don't own the continent(s), even though that is their obvious aim.

Incredible that anyone wants to work for such Pscho corporations. They must be incredibly ignorant outside their job-function - I hope..

So.. Any good FOSS alternatives for navigation while biking?

I tried changing to Organic Maps but had to change back because it was really inaccurate outside of cities and the voice guide kept telling me to turn too early or too late 😮‍💨

Jfc. So how is OsmAnd these days?

[–] soratoyuki@piefed.zip 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Just installed it to compare my driving route tomorrow with Google Maps and OsmAnd crashed. Sigh.

I think car navigation is better in CoMaps, even though OsmAnd is superior in every other way.

OsmAnd doesn't crash for me but for some reason it gives most directions as notifications instead of saying them out loud, which is completely useless. I use HERE WeGo instead.
