I wonder if it's related to the vaccine being "unavailable?"
I was at my local Walgreens yesterday and asked if they had the 2025-26 Covid jab. They said yes, BUT... I couldn't get it yet because no insurance (even Medicare!) will cover the costs and the jab is over $100. They're hoping for approval later this month.
When the choices are between Google, Microsoft, and Apple for my navigation needs, it makes me want to pull my hair out.
Though a good FOSS alternative is CoMaps. Runs purely off OpenMaps, lets you download maps locally, and is significantly more private. Not perfect, has its quirks, but it's definitely capable.
Served me on a 4 hour drive cutting through a massive major city that's notorious to drive in. Downloaded straight to my Pixel running Graphine OS from F-Droid.
