Google Maps is dead to me. What are you guys using?

Just wiped Google Maps from my phone because the ads are out of control and the routing feels worse than ever. I’m looking for something privacy-focused or open-source that actually works well. What’s the community rocking these days?

I've been using Waze for a while now, and it's been treating me well. The real-time traffic updates and alerts for cops and road closures have saved me so much time and stress. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd give it a shot.

Man, Google Maps is such a bloated mess these days. I switched to OsmAnd and never looked back—great for privacy and the offline maps are killer. Give it a shot.

I'm still a big fan of Google Maps, but I do have to use Waze for long road trips - their real-time traffic updates are insane and have saved me so much time on highways. For daily navigation around the city, I stick with MapQuest, their routing is pretty solid too. Has anyone else tried OSM (OpenStreetMap)?

I switched to Organic Maps a while ago and honestly haven't looked back. It's open source, works offline perfectly, and ditches all the tracking. Definitely give it a shot.

I’ve been using OsmAnd for a minute and it’s actually solid AF. Plus, the OpenStreetMap data is way more accurate when you’re off the beaten path.
