Both OSM and Organic Maps are SEVERELY lacking in businesses. So many places aren’t in the directory.

You search for fast food and only a couple pop up. Search for s fancy steakhouse by name, nothing. It shows about half of the weed dispensaries in my area…

Is there a way to update the “phonebook”?

Has shitgle been spending money trying to make all other maps unusable? It sure fuckin seems like it.

    Magic Earth isn’t private as it sends back data. Even if it was, there is no way of doing they won’t change something in the future.

    I used to use it before Organic maps matured. Now organic maps seems to be the best option. I also use OsmAnd for a while but it is far to unstable and slow plus it takes up a lot of disk space.
