It gets discussed pretty regularly on here. It's true giving up maps requires some loss of convenience, but it's not a diaster. TomTom is pretty much as good for navigation, live traffic etc. HereWeGo also does ok and has a reasonable amount of business info. Neither are particularly privacy friendly, but crucially they're not system apps and don't require you to be signed in, so you can limit data collection to a minimum. Google reviews are very unreliable anyway. Street View is tough to replace (Panoramax from OSM and the French National Geographic Institue is getting there). But for these last categories you can also improve things by only using GMaps on a desktop through a browser. Not a surprise that DIY alternatives don't match a trillion dollar tech monopolist. It's a minor miracle they're even somewhat close. As always, it's a sliding scale as to how much convenience you are willing to forego. More on reddit.com
