    What exactly are you missing? The /e/os team has their own FOSS maps app in beta. In my experience it’s not that great, but you seem like someone who can’t get enough map apps (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

      Not OP, but I can’t find replacements for two Google maps uses:

      1. Share my location/eta travel. My spouse and I use this fairly extensively.
      2. Traffic/road condition/police reporting - the “Object in road” has saved me a few times from large debris (when that alert comes up, I slow down and make sure there’s visibility for the road ahead).

      I have rarely found the store/town/restaurant I was selling in OSM Apps. There is no traffic data. I can’t search for places in maps that I haven’t downloaded already - this makes sense, but it means I can’t just look up a place of I don’t already know where it is.

        To be fair, Google maps has started to get super shitty with their search - especially voice. I forget if it’s normal maps or Android Auto maps, but one of them has started trying to open apps instead of actually navigating to places.

        Maybe gmaps will keep getting worse and worse and eventually osm maps will catch up.
