    @ the community: What’s your favorite mapping app that’s not made by Google and still works? I’ve been experimenting with a few, including TomTom (which seems to be the most competently made so far).

    I’ve also tried Sygic (very janky) and Maps.me (missing locations), but at this point I think basically anything is better than Google

            That not the official OSM app tho? As far as I know, they don’t have one&their just a map provider. There then are apps that use their maps…

            I haven’t really tested it much, but I’m glad I took a second look because it’s actually pretty competent!

    It will be opt-in, right?

    Sounds like an excuse to get some AI training data. Or just data to be sold to random carefully selected partners.
