It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

    For the google maps, it helps for us to contribute to Open Street Maps through recording with Mapillary or making edits in our community.

      Is the app itself ready for prime time yet? Can I use it daily? I live in a small but major city.

          There’s several apps to use open street map data. Organic Maps and OSMAnd to name a few. I use a bit of both along with Waze when needed.

            I’ve tried them and prefer Magic Earth.

            Also, you can contribute to make the maps more complete with Street Complete.

              Magic Earth is proprietary FYI. Good privacy policy and good service, only real problem I have is its not FOSS.
