I haven’t touched Google maps in ages - I use Apple Maps which is decent these days (not the dumpster fire it was at launch - and even so, I used it back then, if only to de google a bit).

If the point is to avoid US companies this won’t be useful, but if the point is to avoid Google specifically, it is an option.

Open Street Map has come a long way. It's no Google Maps, but it's serviceable.

I think increase in userbase and donations will eventually make it better. We just have to show up for them.
