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.

Looks good but I didn't see an app. Is there one?

umap on french servers, and umap is between other things an API on top of open streetmap...

Is that correct?
