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?

Wait, Proton sends user data to Google? Doesn't that run contrary to their privacy ethos? Do you have an article on that I can read?

    So basically, I had Gmail as my backup email, so when I got some emails on my Proton account, it sent messages to my Google email saying that my Proton email had received messages and who they were from. They were regarding purchases I made, so it basically defeated the purpose of leaving Gmail if Proton sent them my purchase history anyways.

    I removed the backup email and it fixed the issue. It still pisses me off. Also Proton tried as hard as they could to force me to collect all my gmail spam in that account. I got around that by making a bogus gmail and then signing up to proton with that, IIRC.
