    I recently switched to Fairphone 6 with e/OS/ and loving it so far. Almost everything works just as smoothly as on Google android. A few apps need a bit of fiddling around to get them to work but it's totally worth it.

    Do banking apps work as well?

    Does anyone have a good replacement for Google Maps? I feel like options like OpenStreetMap and Here We Go don't have many points of interest, especially in smaller cities. The ones that do exist are often not up to date. It's a tedious job updating POIs yourself

    For travel, I've tried CoMaps and CityMapper and Magic Earth

    I always end up coming back to CityMapper because its nicely made and does what I need best; which is public transport routes.

    But it sounds like maybe you're looking for ALL THE OTHER STUFF; reviews, opening times, menus, etc. for local businesses?

    Have you tried comaps? Once you login to OSM via settings it's not too bad to edit places directly.

    As far as I am aware, open street maps is the most mature non corporate maps app, I think unfortunately at present you have to deal with its quirks or run apple or google maps.

    All other non-us maps mentioned here are, afaik, based on openstreetmap. OpenStreetMap itself is a database rather than a useful googlemaps replacement for navigation etcetera. Apps like Mapy and CoMaps are more useful for day-to-day use.

    Not sure whether that is the right thing for your use-case, but mapy.com (Czech Republic) works extremely well for satellite view, their images often are of higher quality than those of Google.

    EDIT: I also prefer heir simple no-bullshit UI.

    Ah? There's no paywall at the Guardian, just a banner you can easily close.
