  • HERE WeGo is a great alternative to Google Maps. It works on Android, iOS, and web.

    (The app store ratings for HERE WeGo are a bit low because they recently rewrote the app and the first few versions were unstable. The rewrite added lane guidance, which is a very useful feature to have for driving directions.)

    - HERE WeGo (web): https://wego.here.com

    - HERE WeGo (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.here.app.m...

    - HERE WeGo (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/here-wego-maps-navigation/id95...

    If the quality of the OSM data in your area is good, the best OSM-based apps are:

    - Organic Maps (FOSS, simple interface): https://organicmaps.app

    - OsmAnd (FOSS, loaded with features): https://osmand.net

    - Magic Earth (proprietary, uses a non-OSM data source for address locations): https://www.magicearth.com

    All 3 of these apps support both Android and iOS.

It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by MapsWithMe (MapsMe) founders and our community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware. Please donate to support the development!

    Used to integrate Android apps with Facebook Platform.

  • Are you referring to HERE WeGo? The current version app only has one tracker (Facebook Login) which is only used if you choose to log in through Facebook:

    The Facebook SDK for Android is also source-available: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk

    Compare to Google Maps, which has 3 trackers (Google AdMob, Google Analytics, and Google Firebase Analytics):
