Alternative to Google Maps for sharing (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Some friends of mine have a Google map going where they pin locations of interest (restaurants, etc).

I was wondering if anyone knew of a non-Google project that might allow for something similar? The goal would be to have a shareable map that a group of invited/ allowed users could add locations and possibly notes to.
