I use Citymapper simply because I find it better (for the city-based journeys that are my usual call for a map app) - but it not being a Google ~data collection device~ service is no disadvantage.
At least, depending why you dislike having everything locked up with Google or whoever I suppose. Personally it's more having everything somewhere that troubles me, I'm reasonably happy with spreading things about. I like self-hosting things too, just needs a value-add I suppose, that's not a reason in itself for me.
