Alternatives for Google Maps? Privacy is important, and I would love to support European companies

I am looking to cut even more ties with Google - next app on the plan is Google Maps. Therefore I am hoping to get experiences from the crowd on alternatives who put privacy first and if possible are from Europe.

I travel by foot, bicycle, public transport and car so those means of transportation should be available (public transport could be covered by the local provider(s)).

Any ideas what I should try as an alternative?...

Is it me or the video editing experience really sucks on Android

I'm not sure what has changed, today I went to edit videos for 2025 recap and there is no application that divides the videos/photos by date, I tried Capcut, VN and none of them seem to do this, I had cleared few photos from my local in Google Photos, and since they're not on the device none of the apps can use them?
