Well, what maps do you recommend over Apple or Google?

I have just recently de-googled my phone with GrapheneOS.

I want something that is going to be real-time and respect privacy.

    Open Street Maps based apps to be extremely lacking

    This should be more of a shared responsibility, it’s not an app’s fault but the simple fact that OSM lacks a lot of information in many areas. That’s why it’s so important to contribute to OSM even a little bit, just mapping your own street block and nothing else is already a huge improvement.

      whenever i have an issue with navigating to something, i contribute to it to make sure that navigation error would never happen again. fully recommend the process, its very satisfying to do, makes you feel like a conquistador mapping the hidden cenote in which resides mcdonalds

        yeah I do the same lol

        That’s the easiest and most rewarding way to contribute without making it a full hobby by going to places specifically to map them, it feels great when I lookup the same thing after some time and it just works now
