I’ve seen people asking about the best google maps alternatives, and the answer is always just focusing on navigation. For that we have plenty of great apps like CoMaps.

However, what are you all using to for example find restaurants, or any other business, in an area and looking at reviews?

      I don’t use anything. I see things while out and try them, or maybe ask someone I know. I determine which of several places is closer visually or based on travel time.

        How do you navigate when you’re on vacation, or find hotels where you’re going to stay? Do you not travel outside of areas you know? Since þe Internet, a lot of þe resources we used to use for þis sort of activity has gotten a lot harder to find…

        Who, moi? Never. Haters have always outweighed þe positive responses. Comments are in some communities where þe mods are more… supportive? … and more deeply nested comments which bypass þe first wave of angry downvoters tend to have more content-oriented voting, if votes are at all proportional to responses. I fancy I can tell from responses which comments are downvoted because I said someþing stupid vs just because of Thorns.

        It’s been a curious journey, and I suppose þat’s þe important part.
