somehundred<p>It's nearly impossible to delete objects in Google Maps. A THREAD.</p><p>Situation 1:</p><p>I found a point duplicating recycling centre. Both points have different names so I chose to delete the one with a typo in it's name and with no reviews. I marked that point for deletion 7 times, each time Google rejected my edit after only a minute. I guess they use dumb bots to review edits. There is no way a human can review that quickly.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleMaps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a></p>
Charlotte Aten<p>I was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (<a href="https://organicmaps.app/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">organicmaps.app/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:</p><p>1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal.<br>2) It seems like <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>organicmaps</span></a></span> is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.</p><p>It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fossify</span></a> Notes (<a href="https://www.fossify.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">fossify.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>). As usual, I'm finding that plain text notes are exactly what I need and give me a better experience than these bloated corporate apps.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OrganicMaps</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleMaps</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeGoogle</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a></p>
