My friends call me a 'data hoarder' irl because I like to keep my life archived and I'm also a writer, but finding r/DataHoarder and like-minded people makes me feel like I'm home :')

I know this might not be a traditional 'data hoarding' question (and I used the search bar), but how is everyone saving where they went during their travels? And before you say Google Maps or My Maps:

Google Maps:

-Seems to have implemented a 3000 pin limit, which I'm about to hit

-With Google and its bugs being somewhat unreliable as the years go on, I've seen people lose pins randomly (especially when they implemented the limit last year) which would devastate me

My Maps:

-Finds clunkier to use, though it's my main right now

-I don't know if this is an unfounded fear, but a part of me thinks Google will get rid of My Maps sooner than later as literally no one in my life (who's not into tech) even knows about My Maps, since Google Maps just does everything better

Other options I've looked into are Wanderlog and FindPenguins which aren't bad, but more for travel than a catch-all mapping system. But I guess I can stick to them since archiving the places I've been to is my primary goal.

Curious to know what other data hoarders use!

Bonus q: I've recently gotten back into photography and I've been saving all my RAWs in 2 copies of 4TB HDDs (one as a backup.) Am I doing this right, or are there better methods to saving my photography?
