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
