What's the difference between Openstreetmap and Graphene's geocoder? I have the later, i think it's the default.

And yeah, ditto for me, I've been using comaps until now, but being able to search shops without resorting to the full invasion of gmaps is neat indeed.

The GraoheneOS one is a reimplementation of the stock Google play service, while OSM is entirely community driven. I chose OSM in my phone for that, but in all honesty, you should be fine using GrapheneOS's all the same.
