Iโ€™ve downloaded Here WeGo maps, but Iโ€™ve noticed that the app lacks a review system. Additionally, the detail level for most places is quite poor.

Which Google Maps alternative is your favorite?

Technically if youโ€™re using Apple Maps youโ€™re mostly using OpenStreetMap (UK) and TomTom (Dutch) so youโ€™re not committing the gravest kind of crimes against European motherland.

I see... Still they get my data somehow, and they don't go to European companies too, am I right?

Apple pays TomTom for their map data. Using Apple Maps on Apple devices is a natural choice for those who are looking for a polished alternative that doesnโ€™t sacrifice too much compared to Google Maps.

Thanks for explaining! I'm an apple user so this can be a valid alternative. I wonder what other people think about it. I guess it is still better try to support other platform directly
