Good idea: open source navigation apps https://en.reset.org/off-the-grid-on-the-trail-eco-friendly-navigation-apps/ Typically, the most-used apps are sat-nav-based, free to start with, but eventually require a paid upgrade as the free version is very limited. Or, they’re free, but share sensitive location and movement data with unknown third parties. Neither option is ideal. But there are alternatives. Actually, there are many, and these navigation apps also have another important advantage. Even if the apps’ energy consumption cannot be tracked in detail, we can assume that open-source apps have a smaller carbon footprint as data, and therefore energy-intensive advertising and tracking, are eliminated. #offgrid, #opensource, #maps
