In posts on X on Monday, Google said it will follow the government's lead in changing the names on its Maps app.

So… I have no intention to use google maps as a result of this. Not like I used it much to begin with, but I’m going to do my part to not enable these ignorant cowardly pissfarts to cartographically troll an entire planet.
No sir, not on my astrolabe!
Make sure you use maps not owned by Google. Waze is part of Google BTW.
I use Apple Maps almost exclusively.
Marginally better, I'll have to see if they have it on android
For trails I already use OSM, how is it for navigation?
Apple maps? Other preferences?
I wonder what the options are no buck Google Navigation on my EV's infotainment console.
I've used Organic maps (which I think uses OSM navigation) exclusively and it hasn't let me down yet. Especially when walking it knows a lot more routes than Google. One thing Google has going for it is it knows where there's a lot of traffic and routes around it, OSM doesn't have the data to do that.
Organic Maps also has an Android Auto version, though I don't have anything to try that.
I use Apple Maps.
