Pro tip: I was sure this old map site was useless until I needed a route around a closed bridge | Found Without Algorithms

Last Thursday I was driving to a friend's place in Springfield and the main bridge was shut down. My phone's GPS just kept trying to reroute me back to it. I remembered this weird map site my dad bookmarked years ago, OpenStreetMap, and pulled it up on my laptop at a gas station. It showed a bunch of tiny local roads the big apps missed, and I got there using a detour that added maybe 15 minutes. Has anyone else found a legit workaround using some random, non-algorithmic site?
