First of all, thanks all for your tips on how to unravel my life from GMail. I’ve slowly started to migrate over to Proton mail (slightly controversial but I feel the full suite will be easier to sell my wife on, who loves her big tech corpos)

Now to the topic at hand, what are some good alternatives to Google maps for driving directions?

    I use OsmAnd+, works fine for me.

    Disclaimer: I don’t often go to places I’m unfamiliar with so I don’t need directions very often, but when I do it seems to get the job done. YMMV.

    I use organic maps because I like it but it does have some issues so I would look into it and probably go with a service that pulls from the same source(osm/open street maps)

    I’ve got Comaps installed but on the rare case I’m driving somewhere new I crack open the street directory.

    Like others here, I use open street maps data, but I’ve found comaps to be the best frontend to it. I can approach the navigation functionality of google maps with it.

    I personally use OSMand+ but its not as nice as Google maps. I’ve had some luck using Magic Earth in the past. Something about it pissed me off and I uninstalled it, but I can’t remember what. It might be worth trying

    I know OpenStreetMap exists as an alternative, but I don’t know if it has decent driving directions. You could check it out and see if it has what you want/need.

      I use it most of the time and it always gets me to my destination just fine! The text telling you to take X exit could be bigger though.
