I am currently running a degoogled Android phone. Hardest part has been mapping -- OsmAnd lacks many points of interest as well as Los Angeles street numbers. I am not looking forward to having to go by cross streets and looking up points of interest in a separate app (Acastus Photon).

if you don't already, contributing to OpenStreetMap from your phone is easy and feels very rewarding. I recommend StreetComplete for beginners and OSM Go! once you want to start editing features

I can't find osm go! on the play store. Have you got a link?

Magic Earth (closed source freeware) uses maps from OpenStreetMap, but also has data for street numbers in certain regions including the US.

It's a convenient middle ground between Google Maps and OsmAnd until the FOSS apps improve.
