I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I've found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search 'fast food' and it'll pull up anything related to that near me. I've tried things like OrganicMaps, and while it is blazing fast and very private in comparison to Google Maps, it unfortunately does not have the best information.
Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?
OSM data is generally on par or better than Google Maps data. The thing that’s lacking is the search engine.
At least for my city OSM is pretty complete with all business in it, A alternative is Here Maps, which also show all traffic and public transport lines, apart of the business sites. The only thing that no other map has is the Google Street View (Here at least has a 3D view), but I can live without this.
Even if there are no proxied frontends already (like LibreTube for YouTube), it's a great idea for FOSS developers. But afaik it requires a proprietary component from GMS to work so it may be hard to make a frontend for
G Maps WV might be what you're looking for. I mostly use that.
Just want to clarify that it's "GMaps WV". No space, in case you had trouble finding it on Droidify. But it's exactly what you're requesting.
My map is really good. Used it in Cuba. It allows me to download the entire country to my phone to use offline. Included user reviews and everything, even when offline
