I've replaced Google Maps with a physical Garmin navigation device in my car, as part of an intentional "deGoogling" of my life.
At first switching to a Garmin felt like I had become my grandfather.
But now that I've had it for awhile, I could never go back to Google Maps, anyway.
The feature of Google I miss is "there's an accident on the road ahead" which my Garmin cannot do because it is not constantly online.
Source: my personal experience. I'm not sponsored by Garmin. But if Garmin wants to send me free stuff they should let me know.
