Even more Google layoffs: This time it’s “significant” cuts to recruiting::Google plans to slow down hiring, and that means fewer recruiters.

I've switched over to OSM+ recently.

The biggest issue with the app is that it's not the greatest at finding an address. But I found that if I find it and then go there, I can creat a custom market or favorite it, so OSM can now take me there in the future. It's cut out about 90 percent of Google maps. Still not perfect but it's been helping me out.

Osm maps address data is worthless. This dev https://github.com/pnoll1/osmand_map_creation/releases has osm maps you can download with adddress data in the maps. Also theres an app called addresstogps . Itll convert the address into gps coordinates and you can open it in any map. The only thing wrong with it however is, addresstogps uses google as a back end.
