First of all, thanks all for your tips on how to unravel my life from GMail. I've slowly started to migrate over to Proton mail (slightly controversial but I feel the full suite will be easier to sell my wife on, who loves her big tech corpos)

Now to the topic at hand, what are some good alternatives to Google maps for driving directions?

Open Street Maps. On android you can use osmand from fdroid

With that said, I've noticed that OSM does not have a lot of addresses, especially for residential areas, so I would recommend pairing that with gps-coordinates.net two convert street addresses into GPS coordinates.
