Howdy privacy experts,
I’m trying to de-google myself, what are your thoughts on HERE We Go? I have OsmAnd which I love for hiking and so on but it doesn’t offer traffic altered directions since it can’t look at overlays for routing.
I know HERE We Go is owned by car companies but it seems to be the best I can do, thoughts?

Exodus report on Here we go
(Exodus is what Aurora store use)
Thank you!
They will downgrade it anytime and we can’t stop them, anti-libre software.
No real difference, when it still fails to include a libre software license text file, software we don’t control. Surely there are easier privacy goals to go finish first.
I’ve been using Organic Maps a lot recently but I don’t drive so can’t comment on how good it is at that.
I used to really like it back in the Nokia 820 days when Nokia still owned it. Had really advanced features like AR POI’s and stuff way ahead of its time. I just assumed they are collecting and selling ALL your data now that car companies own it since thats what all car companies do using the infotainment, why wouldnt they in their own navigation software too?
Edit: forgot to mention what I use now, combo of OSMand~, organic maps, and when I cant find an address or POI on either of those, Apple maps through duckduckgo’s maps portal, and try to add it to OSM
Thank you!
Magic earth is best for privacy.
Here has horrible map info. I’d never use here.
This is what I was hoping to learn! Nobody on any search recommended Magic Earth.
Thank you kind human!
And as you said, osmand for hiking and biking and adding a poi here and there. Thanks for using osm 👍🏼
You’re welcome…? It’s a great app, I do the yearly subscription thing hoping to help fund the development. I look forward to the day when I can use it for everything!
lol
no one commented about organicMaps 🤔
and alpiMaps for hiking
