I've managed to remove several Google services from my normal use pretty easily. I actually pay for email now. I have to get back into using Open Street Maps, so if anyone knows a good client that would be appreciated!

Sadly, I'm still stuck on an Android phone. I didn't realize it at the time, but the phone I bought isn't supported by LineageOS and the like, so I'm kind of stuck for now.

I use organic maps and it works really well

Osmand is great, especially for hiking its better than google maps. Only disadvantage is that it has almost no businesses listed.
