So using a non-google maps app is possible & probably a good idea. Giving your location to google is not safe going forward.
Been using & experimenting with some & I think you might want to find some too.
Apps: https://european-alternatives.eu/category/navigation-apps
@davidaugust #OpenStreetMap is a great alternative. There a number of apps that will use that data fully offline for navigating. It is community supported
@RichardNairn nice. Great idea. A number of the ones at the link I shared also allow offline use. Not sure, off the top of my head if they use that dataset.
Like OsmAnd Maps is on that list and I think Osm in its name stands for open street maps.
Correct. Osm is for OpenStreetMap, And for Android, although the app is also available for iOS.
In fact, most of the apps in the list are #BuiltOnOpenStreetMap, as is mentioned for a few of them.
@Limaginaire @RichardNairn nice. That makes sense. Thank you. Now I understand them and their basis that much better.
