ZDNET —
"Every month, Google sends me a report about where I've been, and I have to say that I'm not a fan. In fact, the idea that Google is following me around, via Maps, disturbs me. That's not the only issue I have with the default Maps app. It seems every time I have to depend on the app, my Pixel 9 Pro battery gets drained faster than when using any other app.
Those two issues alone are enough to make me question why I use such an app.
That's why, when I heard about CoMaps, I immediately wanted to know what it was all about."
