I'm curious, what do you guys use for navigation? You have very little options when it comes to privacy right? This has to be the hardest area of privacy conscious decision making.
@redcoqui There are really no good options. OsmAnd is the only even slightly viable option, though it doesn't compare to Apple or Google maps. If I had to rate them I'd say
Google Maps: 95/100
Waze: 90/100
Apple Maps: 80/100
OsmAnd 20/100
@redcoqui To be clear I have used each app for significant periods of time and many many routes each.
@redcoqui
Google Maps :(
On the bright side, GPS is somehow broken on my smartphone, so even Google can't track me when my WiFi is off.
@redcoqui I like OSMand from F-Droid. Otherwise magicearth works decently I think.
@TheDoctor I'm gonna try out the former. Thanks for the feedback!
@redcoqui there's no real good one here so I just use apple maps 😊🍎🗺
@Wetrix I wish I could. With an Android device. I'd rather use it over GMaps... Although, I still have a Google infested ROM 😩 It wouldn't make a difference on privacy. I would switch to Lineage OS but then the camera app would be screwed because, and I may sound like I know what I'm talking about here but I don't, the API for the camera is closed sourced and Gcam ports can only do so much. 😅🤓
@redcoqui yeah, I think any tracking software is hard to make truly private you think?
Man, crazy that it really is hard to avoid the use of Google services for navigation. 😅
