@osma Magic Earth has been pretty good for me as a google maps alternative, especially for transit. their privacy policy is good, and you can use the maps offline. they have headquarters in Amsterdam. (not FOSS, but nothing's perfect)

note that, like every other service i have used *except* google maps, it still has some outdated POIs, so a search may show locations that are permanently closed, etc. sadly i still use google maps in a private browser window, first, to figure out such info.
