Android maps and turn-by-turn navigation that run without Google Play Services, using open OpenStreetMap tiles with optional Google lookups.

Why you might care

Built for degoogled phones like GrapheneOS and usable on stock Android, with no Google SDK, API key, or account required. Panning the map sends nothing to Google by default, and it can avoid Flock cameras.
