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.

    FWIW CoMaps what Organic is now called (the talented developers left Organic after internal issues)

      Organic (as well as the original project) has Russian founders, so I’m not surprised. After the war they waged in Ukraine, I prefer staying away from anything Russians do, even if it’s open source.

      Telegram is in the same bucket. All developers are Russians. They claim they actually have Ukrainian developers, so they’re like above the war. Which is weird given all the beneficiary are Russians, plus their CEO is visiting Sucker Carlson, and spilling very questionable political opinions (so to say).

      I haven’t been following maps with me project that closely, but I remember me reading the relatively recent drama with Organic → CoMaps, and reacted with not being surprised.
