True. I'm also using it a little bit to much. And also a little problem for me. Using Spellcheck for two Languages.

The other issue I’ve been running into is that Maps is unfortunately still the best way to get business data since anything else requires businesses to add their info to it. On Maps I can find store hours, menus, phone numbers, reviews, etc.

Well the easiest way is to add it by yourself. There are Apps which are build for that. For Example Streetcomplete or Mapcomplete. All you need is an Openstreetmap Account and you are good to go.

Take a look at this Supermarket in Germany: In OSM - In Mapy

You can add a lot of details but not every App shows them. Mapy also has your review system you wanted. So all you need is Family and Friends (and Lemmy Users) to join and rate every store in their Town.

If you want I could take a look in some towns and see if the data that is collected is good or not. Europe has a good OSM Coverage, America not so much it's more like the basics. Canada I don't know.

How is the Quality of Openstreetmap Based Maps and Apps for you? For Example Mapy, Comaps or Osmand.

I'm doing my part

or mapy

On the other Hand. Local Retailers could get better and cheaper alternatives again. Or you just use other Online Stores here in Germany Amazon is almost never the cheapest.

I don't really use Bluesky I just bridged my Mastodon Account to bluesky and all I can say: There are more users bridging their Mastodon to Bluesky then Bluesky Users bridging to Mastodon.

Europe COULD push the Fediverse and show the Middlefinger to US Datahording Social Networks like Facebook, X/Twitter and Reddit but Some European Countries are not even close to the Digital Age.

Maybe he doesn't play any Multiplayer games (anymore) so why should he care. But yeah I also missed that part since some big games could make problems like Fortnite or GTA V MP?

Oh a long time ago Maps.me did also do a weird Route. I send them an Email and it got fixed.

Well you may want to download the Maps for offline Navigation and OSM is not that great for editing on mobile. Let people use whatever they want for Open street map as long they use it.

I know but also they Support Open street map funding. But some people want the data they looking for and easy to use. Mapy has most of the Data because it is Open street map based and I used it but it is not going to ditch osmand because osmand is good for navigation in my City and around. But for longer distance I give it at least a try.

Because we don't even get Summer Time or winter time forever. And Germany for example has a party in charge for old people. Or in general we don't have parties at all for Kids which would say. Hey if we get rid of winter Time it's dark for the kids. Let's make school start 1h later. In Germany the States are making the School rules and not Germany itself.
