I switched recently, and it is really good. It doesn't have public transport yet (for the most part), and I rarely drive, but for walking, hiking and biking it is very nice. OpenStreetMap is shockingly well developed, I had no idea this existed. It has almost all the local businesses in my area, really did not expect that. It doesn't have restaurant reviews and stuff though.
My area was missing a bunch of businesses, so I added them. It's really easy, so definitely consider helping fix stuff as you notice it. I usually take the time to add metadata like phone number, hours, and website, because sometimes that's useful.
@sugar_in_your_tea @Habarug there's an app called StreetComplete which gameifies this as well. Gets a bit addictive if you're not careful
Thank god it doesn’t… fuck that. Most times it’s bs anyway.
