Where I live, Google Maps is the only mapping option.

Is there anyway to download the route as .ics to add to Proton Calendar?

    That conversion isn’t accurate at all, at least in the cities I have been. I used to trust OSM a lot, but it led me to wrong places a few times. I use Organic Maps, which is based on OSM, for general navigation, but I have to rely on Google Maps for finding precise locations. I use web interface only, for google maps, but OSM can be a pain in the butt, especially if others are dependent on me navigating them.

      Odd, to me wherever I have been Google Maps is vast areas of uniformly coloured nothing only whereas OSM has details of every house, every footpath,…

        maybe because some of us are living around those places.

        If osm information around you isn’t accurate enough, you can always easily complete it for you and everybody else: streetcomplete

        This is the case for me too. OSM has so much more detail compared to Google Maps, it’s my go to for actual navigation

        Google maps I just use for public transport, and local business discovery.

      Odd, i have always found that method to work correctly. If OSM has a POI for the place i use that first, but if nothing else i do it the way i mentioned and have had success with it. Then i add the location to OSM when i go their.
