    I'm still using Google for looking up places but I stopped using it for car navigation because holy shit it sucks ass. Using waze now and it's so much better. No idea of they're FOSS tho

    Waze is owned by Google. They bought it in 2014 (someone please correct the year, if I’m wrong). It’s not FOSS.

    Waze was amazing. Sadly, a lot of features have been removed over the years, in an attempt to shift people from Waze to Google Maps. Waze in 2016 was better than the current version.

    It really sucks that they were bought out by Google because for some reason waze's navigation is 1000x better than gmaps, even tho they're apparently from the same parent company
