What's your Google Maps open-source replacement?
I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

It's the only one I know, I've also done mapping for them and updating several places around my home town.
I like Organic Maps. It uses the openstreetmap data.
Never heard of it but a great tip! Looks very nice, thank you.
Open Street Map is legitimate. In bicycling communities, Strava is the gold standard app for tracking rides, and it uses Open Street Maps on the backend. It's always super accurate for me, even for fairly obscure bike trails off the beaten path.
I noticed allot of the trails in my area are mapped better than on Google.
Wow, that's so cool. 👍
My house doesn't even exist on OpenStreetMap, so I don't have much faith in it
Then you can map it and add it to the map with a free account and some "proof", unlike Google Maps where the main road to my colleague and his four neighbours houses still isn't on Google Maps after almost a year of reporting. The road is almost a year old but my colleague still can't get deliveries to his house.
Try it out! The mapping community on OpenStreetMap is often very helpful and open to new people.
Fix it or STFU
