I recently asked for recommendations elsewhere regarding a cost-effective phone with the best camera that's a reasonable price. Almost unanimous recommendations for a Pixel a couple years old. I'm a total noob for privacy stuff but joining Lemmy under the dbzer0 instance, I'm feeling more motivated to learn more and get out from under the thumb of major corps as much as possible.

Can you have a Pixel and still de-google? It seems unlikely... Any advice?

I haven't really needed to yet, but I think I'd probably look for OSmand (sp?) on F-droid. It uses Open Street Maps.

Edit: seems they have a few anti features. Maybe I'd just use browser and apple maps in a bind.

Try Organic Maps on F-Droid. It seems to have no anti-features and is pretty solid in general.

And you can even contribute to OpenStreetMap to make it better for everyone!

A delayed response, but thanks for the recommendation. Looks pretty good so far :).

I'd really like something that has traffic data, my frequent routes are often messed up
