I'm sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I'm tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

EDIT: Was not expecting so many replies, thank you Lemmy! I am checking out Open Street Maps currently thanks for the recommendations!

It's all dependant on the community, if there's missing data that you can add, please do! StreetComplete is a very acessible way to contribute

I've contributed a little, but its a bit discouraging. It's not like can just map the whole city myself
