Do it!

I'm still working on it, but I've cut out quite a bit. Start with Chrome, and work your way down.

When you get to email, Gmail has a very convenient forwarding feature so you can forward all email to the new one while you change accounts and whatnot. I made a new account elsewhere, and I have a separate folder for email from my old Gmail and my new email. Every so often I'll go fix an account or two, so I'm making steady progress.

For me, docs/drive is the hardest, so I'm doing it last. I'm playing with self-hosted options, and am still in an adjustment period.

Getting away from Google Maps has been a tough one. There aren't many options there, it's either Google, Apple, Microsoft, or OpenStreetMap.

I've been contributing to OSM for my local area as much as possible to update businesses and their opening hours, website, etc., but it's not a small task.

For Google Maps, what about a dedicated phone for just running Maps? It would only get internet from hotspot on your real phone.

You can run multiple user profiles on one phone to isolate apps like Google Maps.

Never considered something like that. Shame it's only for GrapheneOS, which apparently only runs on Google Pixel phones.

Graphene allows more profiles but it should work on stock android

I've been getting around quite well on OrganicMaps, but it does lack live traffic information

The biggest hurtle for me are Google maps, google photos and all the sites that i have signed up with google

Try OrganicMaps. It's the best OpenStreetMaps backed app I've ever used, and I've tried almost all of them for 10 years now.
