@bestsoln We should move off #GoogleMaps…but not to #MapMyIndia.
The best map is made by the community and owned by the community - like #OpenStreetMap. The best software is transparent, monopoly-free, and respects the users’ software freedom - i.e. #FreedomRespecting / #libre / #opensource software, such as #CoMaps, #OsmAnd, #OsmAPP, #MapComplete, etc.
Instead of investing in yet another privately-owned platform, we should invest in the aforementioned.
MapMyIndia could have joined the hundreds of other companies who have built their maps atop #OSM data, allowing them to benefit from the collective investment and helping improve OSM for the rest of the world.
