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.

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