Canada really needs to develop its technology to get off of oppressive American tech. We need to work with other countries and develop our own tech to combat this. Absolutely insulting. Just a little “oopsie” after over a decade of not having mislabelled parks? The stink is showing.

We have. Only it’s not well known, because of Google’s monopoly.

Then let’s start naming them and putting them out there. If they’re just maps but we need guis for apps on these, then it’s a great time to start that process and get developers in on it, preferably open sourced if possible.

My guess is there would be lots of developers willing to work on a project like this to help distance us from America.

Organic Maps and OSMAnd are phone apps. You can use Street Complete which is like Pokemon GO but improves the maps in your area.
