I want to ungoogle myself as much as possible, but I’ve found that Google Maps is by far the best dataset for maps. I can search ‘fast food’ and it’ll pull up anything related to that near me.

Are there any apps that are kind of like a proxy/nitter like frontend for Google Maps and it respects privacy? Are there any ways to just straight up rip data from Google Maps and pull it into another app?
