As I look at GrapheneOS and e as iPhone alternatives, 2,700 miles of driving this weekend is reminding me how strong of a tie-in maps alone is to Google and Apples ecosystems.
@chris
You can use Google maps on graphene, but many of us refuse to be tracked and steered by Google. Organic maps works well enough.
@krock ive tried other map apps and both googles and apples ability to get me around traffic can save countless hours in Florida. The tracking, however, is what I want to get away from.
@chris Yep it is a step back in features, but I used to travel the world with nothing but tattered paper maps. The teams at OSM.org and Organic Maps are improving the solution. I update osm.org regularly and encourage others to contribute. Google both tracks and guides. I don't like the latter part either.
