Think about it, Google Maps is (I think) the biggest collection of map data and information on locations everywhere around the world, yet I don’t want an advertising company knowing that I just went to a fast food place.
YouTube is an endless trove of video content that anyone can contribute to, yet I’d much rather not give an advertiser information on every little interest that I have in video.
It’s so bad for you, but it’s so good.
Yes that’s one of the apps. There are others that I can’t think of off the top of my head at the moment.
Organic Maps is another OSM GPS app, maybe it’s the one you’re thinking of?
Organic Maps is OSM-based? I switched to it for a few months for the reasons stated above, but it really did not work out for me. Mainly because it was lacking a lot of major locations and facilities in my city, and I could never reliably ask for indications. Plus it had no info on public transportation other than the subway, which was unfortunate. I guess it was because I’m in Europe? Either way I eventually had to switch back to GMaps 😔
