Best GIS software for a newbie with a very random hobby

Hi there! I'm looking to find a GIS software for my fiance and would love some recommendations based on this very specific use-case. Hoping you all can help!

He has been collecting and tracking coins he finds on the street, and over the last 7 years, the hobby has metastasized from casually grabbing a penny on the ground to finding over $5 in coins on a walk to the bagel shop. He recently hit $1,000 in found change on the ground!!

For almost a year now, he's also been tracking each coin's coordinates and has built a big coin map using free features on Google Maps. He's recently hit the limit of layers and pins per layer on Google Maps and we're looking for a better system for him to track the coins and do some additional data analysis on the coins. This is all as a hobby, so doesn't need to be super intense, but he is contemplating starting a substack about this, so definitely want something that could make interesting visualizations and personal data analyses. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations on which platform would be best. I was looking at the personal tier of ArcGIS, but looks like QGIS could also be an option.

Any opinions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

iud insertion?

Hey bitches! I looking to get my mirena IUD replaced and curious if anyone has had experiences with doing it at one medical in dc. I've had fairly easy experiences in the past with IUD insertion and replacement (once at GW and once in another city). I'm a one medical member now so my instinct is to go there, but they are all family medicine trained as opposed to obgyn trained and curious if folks have gone there and had positive experiences and also if there is anyone I should try to make an appt with.

LMK - thanks in advance!!

Metrobus wrong fare?

Hi there! Metrobus question here. I boarded the C53 bus at 6:30 PM on Tuesday night at Florida and 5th NE heading north. I was charged $8.45 for what is typically a $2.25 ride. While the $6 is not make or break and I’d rather give WMATA the money over Uber, mis-charges like this can really add up and would also be really easy to miss. Has something like this happened to anyone else? Any ideas of who I can reach out to at WMATA to get this fixed?

I posted this in r/washingtondc too. Thanks in advance!
