Sell all your property, move to India and get a job on their equivalent version of Mechanical Turk.

Or you can install OsmAnd and use the OSM dataset, which is not as comprehensive, but it doesn't many lies. At most, outdated data.

I had OSMAnd try to navigate me to a wrong-way street (taking the offramp rather than the onramp when trying to get on the freeway on a parclo. FWIW, the data was corrected before I could get to a computer though.
