Both OSM and Organic Maps are SEVERELY lacking in businesses. So many places aren't in the directory.

You search for fast food and only a couple pop up. Search for s fancy steakhouse by name, nothing. It shows about half of the weed dispensaries in my area...

Is there a way to update the "phonebook"?

Has shitgle been spending money trying to make all other maps unusable? It sure fuckin seems like it.

Yandex Map, but quality depends on the country. Otherwise, Organic Maps are the only decent option.

Never expected to see Yandex mentioned in a privacy focused forum…

Depends who you need privacy from. I recall Stallman's advice about VPNs - that to avoid having your information turned over you should choose a VPN from a country whose government is no friend of your government. Depending on your threat model, I could see this being the same principle
