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!

None of them seem up to date on public transport when I tried, which makes it kind of useless

Citymapper and the Transit app might work, depending on where you live

Organic Maps is planning on implementing it. For now I just use a dedicated app for that though, ÖPNV Navigator is great for Germany for example.

Public transport in Magic Earth mostly works for me. It’s not as good as Google Maps, but it’s better than nothing.

Magic Earth seems much more complete than OSM from experience, which is curious considering they use OSM data. I wonder where they get the extra info.

Probably better to use local services.
