I'm sick of using google maps, they started putting gigantic ads for stores on the map and I'm tired of them tracking me. So I ask you Lemmy, what should I switch to?!

EDIT: Was not expecting so many replies, thank you Lemmy! I am checking out Open Street Maps currently thanks for the recommendations!

Second this. It's also way better than Google maps for downloading and using maps outside of cell service too. I've noticed it's got lots of hiking trails as well
