okay - i’ll have to check out organic maps; ty for the tip :)
i dislike how my car’s entertainment system is all proprietary. i would love a foss option, but i am kinda new to this whole scene. i am trying to do better <3
When I bought my current car, I went for the one with the “dumb” sound system. For my purposes, it’s just a fancy bluetooth receiver. Not sure what I’m going to do when I upgrade, though.
I’ve got enough privacy concerns about my car’s privacy policies that I don’t want my phone talking to my car. (Except via the aux audio port, at least.)
And since I first got a smartphone, I haven’t done enough traveling that I’ve ever felt the need for a maps app. But there are options on F-Droid. I just can’t speak to how good they are as I’ve never used any of them.
what do you use in place of maps and android auto?
Not OC, but I use OrganicMaps for maps and don’t even want Android Auto so not an issue.

That’s the neat part. I don’t!

Though, honestly, I can also just use https://maps.google.com/ through my browser.
