This is getting out of hand.

    If you’re going to all that effort, why not just use something that’s powered by OpenStreetMap like OsmAnd?

      Really tried. They just totally suck for us. Sygic isn’t great either but way more helpful (with lane-assist or speedcam warnings and such). And the yearly sub costs a tiny fraction of what Bentley would want for a post-warranty service with nav-update 😁

      Sadly found no better alternative so far, especially because I effing hate google and have it removed 99,9%.

          At least what i said above. Comfort-features. The open ones are great, don’t get me wrong. But not here and not for cars. At least not for me. Would’ve otherwise prefered open of course.

            I had a pretty good experience with Comaps but i guess the open map is not good for every place, which makes sense for such a project since it need people to work well

              I don’t actually remember comaps. But those crowd-sourced are usually problematic here, as you already pointed out. I can live with Sygic though. Good lifelong discount for yearly, and it’s european :)

          Not OP: I can’t give up gmaps because none of the open source maps I tried allow me to search for business name or a type of business (gas station, grocery store etc). I am sure they would guide me wonderfully but I would need to look up the address first and that’s less than ideal when driving.

            Have you tried Comaps? I can write in the searchbar something like “grocery”, "market’ etc etc and it will give me releated results
