That’d be something I’d do if this were an occasional issue, but for just this single company OpenStreetMap shows only 4 of the 20+ nationwide locations. I try OpenStreetMap every year or so and still find that it isn’t useful for me as it stands.

Lessons learned when switching:
Some things I didn’t expect just work differently on Linux and it took time to figure out those differences. For instance, a change to a network interface config on Windows usually takes effect when you hit the “OK” button. Linux requires toggling the interface for that change to take effect. That one took me a couple of frustrating hours to figure out. There are lots of other examples like this so keep it in mind if things aren’t working as you expect.
Trying to do absolutely everything on Linux right away was a mistake. I started switching back to Windows for quick tasks and then learning how to do those tasks on Linux when I could spend a few minutes figuring them out. Over time I spent more and more time running Linux and one day realized I hadn’t started Windows in months.
In addition to (or instead of) dual booting, create a virtual machine to allow you to use what you need in either OS without rebooting.
Lastly, if you find that you’re spending a lot of time fixing OS problems don’t be afraid to try something else. Haven’t spent much time with Fedora, but I use Mint daily because I don’t have to fuss with the OS much. Others in my household have more problems with Windows 11.
Organic maps can’t find a business that’s 15 miles from my location and has been there for years, but it can find another branch that’s 90 miles away. Not a useful option.
I’ve used both a DD-WRT wireless bridge and a wireline adapter and much prefer the wireline adapter. Data speeds are much higher without the potential for wifi issues and without the complexity of setting up a wireless bridge.
