      For my use case of mixed public transportation i don’t think there’s anything OSM-based that comes even close to GMaps yet (i’d LOVE to be proven wrong here, i’m in the western EU area so lemme know if there’s something i can try)

        Apple Maps is really good in that regard if your goal is just escaping Google. Still a Big Tech company, though.

      Is there an OSM client that has live traffic info or incorporates live public transport schedules? This has been the only thing keeping me from switching.

        AFAIK OpenStreetMap itself doesn’t have live traffic info, and I do not know of any client that has it, sorry :(
