Alternative to Google Maps for sharing (lemmy.world)

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.

The what3words app is awesome and lets you share any 10-foot square on the planet and save them into lists.

what3words is proprietary and the owner is profit-hungry and litigious, I would recommend avoiding it.

This has been my worry that some big tech company buys it out. There is latitude and longitude. But its not as easy to remember.
