Pietervdvn :mapcomplete:For some reason, Mastodon pushed a <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#map</a> of <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/capybara" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#capybara</a>'s in my face earlier today.

Philip GillißenViele Menschen verlassen sich auf Google Maps zur Navigation: Lieferdienste, Freund*innen und Bekannte, Familie. Da können Straßensperrungen, die nicht in offiziellen Listen auftauchen, stören. Auch auf Google Maps könnt ihr selber Straßensperrungen melden, ist aber weniger intuitiv als gedacht.<a href="https://guerda.de/posts/google-maps-strassensperrungen/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://guerda.de/posts/google-maps-strassensperrungen/</a><a href="https://ruhr.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://ruhr.social/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a>

Charlotte AtenI was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (<a href="https://organicmaps.app/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://organicmaps.app/</a>) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal. 2) It seems like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fossify</a> Notes (<a href="https://www.fossify.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fossify.org/</a>). As usual, I'm finding that plain text notes are exactly what I need and give me a better experience than these bloated corporate apps.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a>

MatthiasHeute Nacht verzweifelt vor der gesperrten Elbbrücke in Lauenburg gestanden. Dann den Umweg über Geesthacht gemacht und an der gesperrten Geesthachter Straße gestanden. Auf dem Rückweg an der gesperrten B207 gestanden. Am Ende gehört: "warum fährst du nicht mit google Maps?" Weder die Sperrungen, noch die Straßen der Umleitung kannte mein aktuelles Navi.
