Description
Been playing Private Maps by MapQuest for a couple months now. It’s basically a privacy-focused navigation app – no tracking, no ads, and your data stays private. Pretty solid if you’re into that kinda thing.
There’s all the usual nav features you’d expect – turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates, and so on. But the big selling point is the anonymous mode. And you can just navigate without leaving a trace, no history or cookies to worry about. Comes in handy if you don’t want companies following your every move.
Look, if you’re tired of other apps selling your data, this is definitely worth checking out. It’s not perfect – the maps could be a bit more detailed in some areas – but overall it does the job and keeps your info safe. I’d recommend it.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on Private Maps. I've tested a bunch of navigation apps and this one stands out for its focus on privacy. And in my experience, it's just as reliable as the big name options, but without all the data tracking. The anonymous mode is a game-changer if that's something you care about. Sure, the maps could be a bit more detailed, but it's a fair tradeoff for the peace of mind.

Gulf of Mexico did it for me. See ya Google maps!
They're not corporate surveillance.
It's pretty bad. Can't even find EV chargers on the map
