The differemce now is that the empires can completely destroy the world and make it unlivable if truly stupid people become leaders

No matter what you use you should contribute to OpenStreetmap. I have an app called Everydoor where you can add and update points of instrests (like shops, restaurants and anything else), it is really rewarding seeing how much you’ve improved your local area over the course of a couple of months (In my city the map is good but the POIs are really out of date)

Happy Degoogling!
