  What are you using in lieu of Google Maps?

    I have been using Organic Maps for many years. They are offline-first, and use OpenStreetMap for the data. Since it’s OpenStreetMap, quality might vary by country and even city.

    If you’re looking for more commercial app, HERE WeGo / Here Maps has traffic and online accounts.

      How’s the realtime traffic on those? I’m currently using magic earth and the routing is mostly okay compared to GMaps, but the traffic data is frequently stale.

        TBH I haven’t used traffic feature (or WeGo, really) enough to know if it’s good.

    I use GoogleStreetMap or GPS, I’ve replaced Gmail with StartMail and instead of Google Calendar I use TimeTree for now. Might need to find a real privacy related calendar, anyone suggestions?

      I was so confused by your first one until I clicked the link and realized you meant “OpenStreetView” instead of “GoogleStreetView” 🤣
