Investigators increasingly use warrants to obtain location and search data from Google, even for nonviolent cases—and even for people who had nothing to do with the crime.
What works as a phone app instead of Google Maps? The only thing I’ve seen is Magic Maps, but that shares location data with third parties, so that seems like an awful solution.
There’s OsmAnd and Organic Maps (and probably more). Both are open-source apps, use Openstreemap data, and work offline.
You can get OsmAnd+ for free on F-Droid. If you want support the devs you can buy it in the Play Store. There’s also a free but limited version there.

@float @canihasaccount I discovered OSMAnd+ just last week and it works pretty well - so far.
@canihasaccount @throws_lemy organic maps or opentreetmaps
