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?

    Mm I don’t know. He said that he did not have much luck searching for „fast food“ in an area. Which again, is because the search is lacking. The dataset should be there, but the search does not recognize which restaurants are fast food restaurants.

    If he where to search for specific names of the locations, it would lead to the results
