This list is an absolute gem in finding what are the trending state-of-the-art open source programs. I have found so many cool open source projects I feel addicted to browsing more…
Seems there are also www.opensourcealternative.to, euroalternative.co and european-alternatives.eu
My eyes! The ad blocker, it does nothing!
Thx, but I’ll stay with alternativeto.net. At least that’s not an ad in a trenchcoat.

I don’t need the tool giving me its opinion. I usually use alternativeto.net to find more open alternatives, but if someone has tried open source and is looking for proprietary solutions, doesn’t hurt me to see all options presented reasonably fairly.

Are there any good trip planners alternatives to Google maps? The amount of information I can find on G Maps is crazy. Transit schedule, time, popular locations nearby (even categorised by type such as shopping, restaurants, hotels etc.)
After testing a bunch I am now using HERE WeGo maps a lot. Less detailed on local shops and restaurants but has some reviews, opening hours etc Has great route planning including for bike and public transport.
More free would be CoMaps but that’s really mostly grey’s mapping and turn-by-turn and very little info on shops apart from them existing.
Maps by Gnome is decent. https://apps.gnome.org/Maps/
Almost all alternatives will be based on Open Street Map (OSM), and your mileage will very on the amount of detail from your local contributors. The two I primarily use are:
CoMaps (community fork of Organic Maps) had a clean intuitive interface and a decent router algorithm. Lots of developer energy and good community governance. Offline first, allows some OSM editing, quick to load and routing. Downsides are its limited feature set and configuration.
OsmAnd is a but older but includes more routing options, near full OSM point of interests (POIs, locations like stores, buildings, etc) editing options, shows more POI types (configurable but can get noisy), has optional Mapillary (community Streetview style project unfortunately ran by Meta) integration, optional weather data, over and under layers from other sources, and optionally incorporates Wikipedia and Wikivoyage data filling in some gaps. Its interface is a bit more clunky, and somewhat slower, but it does a lot. Get the OSMAnd~ version from Fdroid, which has most of the “pro” (paid) version but without Google services. The actual paid version does have Google reviews and more POI search engine, but you’re using Google again.
Both are offline first but also both suffer from no review system integrations or traffic integrations (no Waze/GMaps reporting of slow downs or speed traps).
I use both google mapy and Organic maps, while the organic maps do not have all the information google has for simple trips and finding restaurants (no reviews) it’s perfect. Just simple and not cluttered maps with offline maps.
You should probably check Comaps instead of Organic Maps.

Wow, you weren’t kidding.
Over half of the first 20 items focus on AI, and that’s not even considering the ads.
Number 1 is Zed but it's not actually an "AI editor", they're just leaning into it a bit for funding. Its a fully open source Rust editor made by the former Atom developers and I highly recommend it as a replacement for Microsoft's VSCode. On first startup, they offer you the option to fully disable any AI features

Any Monty Pythom jokes aside, I like AlternativeTo to find good software (even if they’re not AI-powered)

This website is filled with AI slop just use alternativeto.net what is wrong with them, they also have a great news page for projects on there
