      Most users only know Google maps and Apple maps in USA. Maybe MapQuest if they’re old enough.

      OSM coverage in Lebanon is pitiful outside of a few areas, and even then nobody updates anything.

      If I drove around the south during peacetime sketching things out on a tablet I’d be questioned for espionage. Not because it’s a police state here, but because everyone is extremely paranoid. Guess why.
