I forgot all about you MapQuest. App doesn't look horrible and it's not google.

I wonder if they have an API that open-source projects could use...

System1 and MapQuest are being suspiciously silent about it, but the general consensus is that they're just using OpenStreetMap data, and some articles are reporting the same.

Dammit. Of course they are. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Switched to MapQuest when Google bowed to their pedo god and started calling it Lake America. It does what I need it to do and I'm not supporting pedo fascist lovers.
