Well, what maps do you recommend over Apple or Google?

I have just recently de-googled my phone with GrapheneOS.

I want something that is going to be real-time and respect privacy.

Chiming in to say you can use Wayz its owned by google but you dont need google services installed. Basically googlemaps. Not foss though.

I used to use GmapsVW to browse places and send to OSM. So it didn't matter about missing osm data. But I keep google maps in a private profile (butay swap to wayze) as its got traffic updates and is much easier to use in a pinch.
