CoMaps is a nice offline alternitive. Not perfect,but it respects privacy

to be clear this isn't a privacy issue. they are allowing companies to pay to be featured more prominently in the app.

The only way to get neo-liberals to care about being taken advantage of by businesses is to make it not about money.

Sure, but one can argue that data is being exchanged for ads.

Regardless, CoMaps is still a solid offline app that is being worked on. I wish we had a better version of Google or Apple maps without the bloat
