So glad I moved from iOS to /e/OS (last year) then to GrapheneOS (last month).
What are you even using to replace Apple Maps though? Google Maps is in an even more advanced level of enshittification and has had ads for years now, and Here Wego, while good, doesn’t have enough content to effectively replace Apple or Gmaps.
