I know! For me, the hardest part was Google photos, that i eventually replaced with ente. But there is a reason why they have a market monopoly. By definition, it makes it difficult to find alternatives. But its possible!
I now only use them when Qwant does not give satisfying results. Kagi is good too, although i have recently replaced it with qwant.
Oooh, Organic Maps works well at least local to me, thanks for the recommendation.
If i can drop Google Maps, the only Google related things I would still be using are Revanced Youtube and GrapheneOS.
Search I moved to Ecosia which is still Bing. Hopefully not for much longer given their most recent relevant announcement about making their own euro indexer/engine teaming up with Qwant.
I love organic maps! I used Google when organic wasn’t able to find certain addresses. I travel for work and sometimes organic isn’t great for weird places.
I use PipePipe for YouTube. I really like that app. I haven’t tried Revanced Youtube.
Oh nice. I primarily use DuckDuckGo, but I do use Leta occasionally. I’ll have to check Qwant out as well. Thanks!
Just gave it a shot driving home from work making wrong turns on purpose to see how it’d do re-routing. Passed with flying colours. Even got voice assist working via RHVoice F-Droid repo. Doesn’t have the same fidelity with individual house numbers on a street in my small city I noticed, but does provide an accurate batch list of houses found on that segment of the neighbourhood block.
That openstreetmaps had the newly installed round-a-bout installed last year on them in my insignificant satellite city was also impressive.
You’re right though, like it doesn’t have stuff like the plant I work at labelled, but oddly does label a bunch of small electric substations under the company name on the site lol.
Easier said than done, even with alternatives. It’s everywhere

I’m mostly using herewego. I believe that I tried mappy but it didn’t have traffic updates for my region? Not sure 🤔 I went through so many!
Thanks! I usually try to use Organic Maps, but Here We Go seems to be very nice.
