First of all, thanks all for your tips on how to unravel my life from GMail. I've slowly started to migrate over to Proton mail (slightly controversial but I feel the full suite will be easier to sell my wife on, who loves her big tech corpos)

Now to the topic at hand, what are some good alternatives to Google maps for driving directions?

OSMand has been recommended many times here. Its a paid app on the corpo app stores, with subscription fees or a $70 purchase to access premium features. However, the version on F-droid is free and as far as I'm aware has those "premium" features enabled.

Openstreetmap's address lookup is the one usability issue I have encountered. OSM can only look up building numbers if that specific building has been added, and many are not. When navigating to an address I often have to find it in another app and copy the coordinates.
