I’ve been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it’s also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I’ve just installed Organic Maps so I’ll see how that goes this week.

    Then one could also argue and say that grapheneos is not good because it is based on Aosp, which is developed by Google.

      I mean, I don’t disagree entirely. Once a proper foss smartphone is available and viable for daily use, I fully intend to use it because graphene does have a lot of google dependencies that I consider shortcomings. But if the goal is degoogling, navigation apps from non-google stores is not a particularly high bar to clear at the moment.
