I got rid of Google maps as well, the things I am missing are:

1) Search, Goolge maps is simply best in class here. Looking for whatever, Google maps finds the location or address

2) Route planning, either I am too stupid but most other solutions make it hard to chnage the starting point or add waypoints

Have to agree, Google Maps for everyday navigation is just the best. Even if routing used to be better, IMHO.

OpenRouteService work great for that, but there is no traffic prevision/live information. https://maps.openrouteservice.org/#/
