Google will no longer hold onto people's location data in Google Maps
I modified an open source GPX recording app called Trackbook to turn it into a 24/7 recorder, and I wrote about it here:
https://voussoir.net/writing/obsessed_with_gpx
I have a few recent commits in my repository that I haven't put into a versioned APK yet though.
The output GPX files can be viewed on the PC with JOSM:

Farmland inside a wood
JOSM has quite convenient merge/split functions, making deletion and re-tracing unnecessary. I took care of the issue in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/134052747

What is your favorite app for creating MTB GPX routes?
Record your track and upload it onto Open Street Map. That's the map service that Strava and Garmin utilize. You'll be able to add the trail for everyone to see regardless of the program as long as it uses OSM. JOSM is a really good program to edit OSM and here's a video to get you started on how to use it.

QGIS is the mapping software you didn't know you needed
Great for preparing data for OSM, but JOSM is the only desktop editor for actually making contributions.

One that comes to my mind would be JOSM: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/

why their isn't a single feature rich editing Android app ?
If you want to do more advanced editing, I would suggest JOSM. It is very powerfull and there is a huge list of plugins. You can do almost anything, but it runs on desktop devices.

[OC] Every High School Baseball Field Used in the State of Hawaii
You could also do all of this in OpenStreetMap or one of its open source editors like JOSM, then run a filter for tags of those features (probably something like “playfield” or “baseball”) in Overpass Turbo. One cool thing about this option is all your work would be visible and usable by the general public forever.

Headway is a self-hosted alternative to Google Maps which supports 200+ cities across the globe
If you want to look at the structure of OSM, JOSM is a good desktop application and Vespucci for Android is the least awful option there. The wiki can tell you what the tags mean; here's more info on the route tag. You can find more info about the Overpass API that lets you run weird queries against the map here.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

Organic Maps & OsmAnd~ are the classic map alternatives but i don't use them.

WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight
When I am on a flight and the flight does not provide the flight information, I am using the OsmAnd, https://osmand.net/, to monitor the flight altitude, speed and direction.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
