I don't use Apple, but honestly Apple is ruining everything, while Organic Maps and others are winning.

Once you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.

Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.

So you overpay them for crappy iPhone and have to pay them again by watching ads?

Don’t forget web users. Duck duck go uses Apple Maps.

Mac user for over 30 years, no problem - they make it easier and easier to say goodbye, which it's now time for, thanks to Apple adding on to Trump's mansion with a huge donation after the gold award earlier this year.

Steve Jobs wasn't sure Tim was right for the creative side of the Mac, but he knew the business side would keep humming. And now here we are, Apple the IBM of 90 years ago, so happy to help out the fascists.

That will inconvenience the Apple map user. I'm sure they're devastated by this news.

Is CoMaps the only alternative besides google maps?

They'll probably make "Maps+" soon after.
