    MapQuest is not perfect but definitely usable

    “Ontario” is an indigenous word that was adopted by European colonists before either Canada or the US existed. Historical erasure from the “but muh statues” crowd.

      Did the golden bribe from Tim Apple not tell you what side of the fascist kleptocracy Apple chose?

    Deleted.

    Just a note that Aplke rekcebtny added ads to Apple Maps, so when you browse with it you’re giving them money and rewarding this.

    I can’t understand why anybody uses these products.

    Okay, I can, it’s marketing and ease of access. I guess it just annoys me that people don’t care.
