I'd really like to get rid of Google Maps, but the alternatives I've tried failed to make a good replacement.

I use the bus / tram / metro more than anything, and occasionally drive long distances. I'm okay with having two different apps for driving and public transport.

Any suggestions ?

Love to see Europeans jumping on board as well. At some point Americans only customers will be Russia and North Korea if Trumps administration keeps bullying and alienating countries like this.

Damn, I wish I had MAX were I live. I was in Sweden last summer and my SO didn't let me go to MAX ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Anyone know if Qwant's search engine is pretty capable? I would like to ditch Google, but it's hard b/c it has the best search results

Food drink and clothing I was never buying either side anyway.

Recently got some new plain cotton t-shirts though. ยฃ2.50 each at Tesco so I got 8. Should just about last me to 2030.
