Contributing to OSM is the best way to give yourself and others freedom from Google. It’s very easy to do through StreetComplete, which is a gamified system that updates the map as people complete quests.
I was also worried about this, but if you make your changes wide reaching enough and don’t use the same username as everywhere else (honestly, this is a good practice for all accounts), it shouldn’t leak your identity.

The city exist on the map, it’s the search that doesn’t find. Not sure what I could do in that case.
It can’t find the entire city on the map, even though it’s on the map? I’ve never experienced that, I’m not sure how that’s possible.
He said that you can find the city on the MAP but not when SEARCHING for it on the SEARCH BAR
My issue with OSM is that i need an account which may potentially contribute to leak my identity
Not really fixing the account issue, but can you use an email alias? I use one for my account.
