MODERATORS
I've found that they commonly mislabel apps as FLOSS when they are actually proprietary. That being said, I only ever used it for more niche programs, so maybe common programs are more accurate.
For what platform?
TempleOS?
Biebian?
For maps: either OsmAnd or Organic Maps. The first one is a beast but needs to be tamed, the latter one is more user friendly. They are both based on !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Additionally, you can use https://mapcomplete.org to improve the maps (or the online editor in openstreetmap.org)
