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.

Cartes.app has been developing very rapidly. Its great for public transit, biking, car, and milti-modal.

Its only a web app so its weak for turn-by-turn navigation but it easily lets you move your itinerary to comaps.

Mapy.com (its an app) and Magic Earth have traffic. Neither are open source but they arent google.

+1 for cartes.app
Probably the closest to Google Maps. The interface will be familiar, it's easy to switch between OSM, hybrid, satellite, etc layers.

You get multiple options for public transit routes and you can set what time you would like to leave.

Clicking anywhere on the map displays images uploaded to panoramax, the logo from any linked website, wikimedia images associated to that location, reviews for the business, opening hours, etc.
