Use a map and navigation app that doesn't build an advertising profile based on your searches and location history. Instead of using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze, we recommend these privacy-respecting alternatives.
The recommendations here either do not collect any user data or at least do not collect personally identifying information (PII) based on each service's privacy policy. There is no guarantee that these privacy policies are honored.
Organic Maps
{ align=right }
Organic Maps is an open source, community-developed map display and satnav-style navigation app for walkers, drivers, and cyclists. The app offers worldwide offline maps based on OpenStreetMap data, and navigation with privacy — no location tracking, no data collection, and no ads. The app can be used completely offline.
Features include cycling routes, hiking trails and walking paths, turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance, and public transport route planning (only available in supported regions and cities).

Please note that Organic Maps is a simple, basic app that lacks certain features many users might expect, such as satellite images, street view images, and real-time traffic information.
OsmAnd
{ align=right }
OsmAnd is an offline map and navigation application based on OpenStreetMap, offering turn-by-turn navigation for walking, cycling, driving, as well as public transport. It is open-source and does not collect any user data.

Compared to Organic Maps, OsmAnd has more features but is also more complicated to use. One noteworthy feature is the ability to overlay or underlay external map data, such as satellite images from Microsoft or traffic data from Google, although the latter is ignored by the automatic route planning. OsmAnd also has an optional integration of street view images provided by Mapillary.
