If Google Maps went down this very moment, would you be able to get directions to the nearest grocery store? Would you be able to get back home if you're on the other side of town?

Probably not, because we have lost our sense of direction.

We're super tied down to these big tech mapping applications, which when you search for food, it gives you bullshit like McDonald's and Walmart, lowest common denominator things.

That’s why I am pleased to announce Above is hosting a webinar called Open Source Navigation that is going to help people divest from these big tech maps, create the things that are important to them in their hometown and save a local map to their phone that they don't need to be connected to the internet to use.

It's going to take place Thursday, October 24th at 11 a.m. Central time.

You're going to be able to ask questions. We will show you how to use these open source mapping applications, all the best ones that are available, their differences, some nuances of how you'd like to use it, and also how to use information from big tech maps more privately.

If you're interested, please RSVP at: https://abovephone.com/webinar/

We hope to see you there!
