What maps app do you use
-
If you are trying to minimize google maps use Organic Maps is the way to go imo. Fast loading, simple slick interface with minimal fuss. It's a beautiful thing!
OSMand is not nearly as slick and polished and is kind of clunky by comparison. That is because it isn't trying to be like Google maps at all. It runs fine straight from the app store but the real beauty of it is the tinkering it allows. You can make multiple map presets fine tuned the way you like it. It's the midpoint between Organic Maps and ATAK

The maps are pretty good (at least in my area)
For the unfamiliar that's another cool thing about using OSM data. If some of your favorite places are missing from the map you can just add it!
There's several ways to do it If you have a laptop the easiest way is to use the editor on openstreetmap.org. They have a quick and easy interactive tutorial to show you the ropes and then you are free to add what you feel is important!

Google has many faults, but the one responsible for this one is someone else
No, the executive order only applies to the federal government. Google chooses to follow it.

I tried to like Magic Earth, but I haven't gotten used to it yet.
Organic Maps is great. Although addresses can sometimes be a bit iffy to search for, unless you type them exactly as they are written. Probably also depends on where in the world you are searching.

Google in 2008:
By saying “common”, we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage.

Organic Maps with Sherpa-Onnx text to speech directions. It sounds just as realistic as Google maps

Would you please give a quick tl;dr of the marketing campaign you speak of?

Open street map with organic map
-
Organic Maps. It is quite fast and I really like its UI.
-
- For directions, I use OrganicMaps.
- For location bookmarks/pins, I'm currently building an app, so I use that.
- For checking business information, sometimes i'll still use google maps
-
Besides organic, I use watch duty (fire tracking), MyRadar (weather) and waze (driving)
-
Waze is owned by Google...
-
For my ebike I use OSMAnd with Brouter
-
Organic maps takes next to forever to plan a route for me, if it manages at all
-
Hola Facilmaps works! I'll be trying it out some more soon

What the pizza?
