Original toot in Spanish says: "OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip."

Yeah, I've seen this sometimes, which lead me to create a osm account and improve coverage around my zone.

OSM is a collaborative effort done by volunteers, so it might not be perfect in some places.
