        CoMaps is a passable alternative if you don’t need live traffic data, otherwise the proprietary HERE WeGo app can be used. Both don’t project fascism onto the Gulf of Mexico.

    Context:

    The project will apparently give restaurants and other businesses the option to pay to have their details featured more prominently in search.

    In search, with AI used to get ads relevant to what you searched for. Hardly terrible, arguably quite useful.
