I definitely like Organic Maps the best of the options I’ve tried, but unfortunately it doesn’t have Android Auto support.
It looks like they tried to do Android Auto support about a year ago in a branch, but they abandoned the branch. There is a new “aa” branch that is active though, so hopefully that works out.
If it does get Android Auto support, I will definitely switch to it permanently though!
I make regular use of software that requires both SafetyNet and up to date security patching unfortunately. I’d love to run something like Lineage on Fairphone if it could meet those requirements.
as I said, you can buy a Fairphone that isn’t degoogled, the degoogled version is an option is not mandatory. If you have those requirments but still want to use a Fairphone, you can buy one that fullfills them.
I’d like one of these but I’m not sold on De-Googled
Same. In my experience as well, almost all alternatives to Google Maps either:
don’t have Android Auto support (a must for me)
don’t have local coffee shops (you’d be surprised how often these apps fail to find 7-Brew coffee shops…)
don’t actually give you enough time to turn (Waze… Which is also owned by Google btw)
Waze is the closest of these but man it’s annoying with that third bullet point. It’s also not FOSS.
I can only imagine Magic Maps falls into one of those three categories too.
Organic Maps is surprisingly good. Not fantastic, no - but it can highlight coffee shops or restaurants or gas stations on your route

You can also use normal android on it, it does come with stock option too

The article says only the De-Googled version will be sold in the US, for now anyways
Oh I didn’t know, but I would think that you could regoogle it
