The #Enshitification of Google maps 🤨

Not going back to Google Maps after I tried this

“I've been using Google Maps for years, but I was tired of the distractions.

#Google Maps has so many ads and pins, with labels galore and a map so detailed with points of interest that it's distracting to the point of sometimes being overwhelming”

Anyone know good #FLOSS software for annotating #maps with things like boundaries and objects, and publishing them somehow, like as a PDF or SVG or on a simple map server? I don't want to be adding objects to #OSM, and it should be usable by someone without a deep understanding of GIS or mapping software. It could certainly involve updating a local OSM subset using OSM's data model as long as it's user friendly and the user doesn't need a deep understanding of the data model.
