Original toot in Spanish says: "OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip."

How has your email transition been? I have been moving away from Google slowly for a few years/intentionally avoiding onboarding with Google services. I don't use Chrome, no google search, haven't used messenger ever, that sort of thing.

But moving away from Gmail is hard. Would love your thoughts.
