If you have an alternative to Google maps please share. I'm working my way away from the rest, but that's one I'm stumped by. I'm considering getting a standalone Garmin, but I map things from my phone when I'm not going anywhere more than I use it for navigation. I'm all for putting up with inconvenience if it means getting away from the oligarchy, so this may be my biggest test.

Me too! I'm old and a little lost and confused, but I'm enjoying doddering around here so far.
