Thanks for sharing your experience, thats super helpful! I'm curious what navigation app you're liking, I'm currently still using google maps and occasionally trialing foss osm maps, but I'm not sure if they'll adequately fill my needs.

Yeah having to use a pixel is a bummer, I have weird hardware preferences and would really love to have more options but understand why thats not possible. I just dont love what google offers and some of the things I'd loose out on vs more niche options

I hope graphene continues to work well for you! ☺️

    You're welcome!

    Yeah OSM does not meet my needs in my area. I love the idea though. I'm using Here We Go. Good privacy policy, European, not sketchy. It is easily one of the best functioning alternatives to Google, and only 2 trackers: Crashlytics (which you can turn off in settings) and Facebook Login (which you can just not use). You can save locations and access search history without an account. There is a toggle to work offline if you've downloaded maps for your area, which I usually use. If you use it online it has integrated reviews from TripAdvisor, and traffic data, but you have to opt into sharing yours as well which I don't want to. I use GMaps WV for discovery and reviews, and Here We Go for navigation. But you could probably get away with just Here We Go. As I mentioned though it does require Play Store for Android Auto.

    Yeah but you know, first world problems. Still a good phone.

    Thanks!
