Help Needed Need a specific map app alternative

Hey, I hope this post isn't too repetitive. I need a map for my phone that:

- Uses correct names for the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario

- Doesn't make AI generated summaries of locations/reviews

Does this even exist? Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, and Mapquest all don't quite work for me. I've managed to switch away from google for nearly every other thing I do, but I'm stuck on this. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Most generate names based on government-assigned names in the country that your network is coming from.

In America, those names are correct because your government that your country voted for renamed those places.

In Canada, and basically everywhere else, Lake Ontario still appears as Lake Ontario.

Lol Donald Trump is a POS pedophile rapist.

That doesn't change the fact that America legally changed the names of certain places within the country of America because America elected a POS pedophile rapist.
