How do you deal with maps and navigation?
I found https://www.qwant.com/maps pretty decent and comparable to Google Maps, especially for the ease to switch between pedestrian/biking/car directions. They don't have an app though.

The Bitcoin.com Wallet no longer includes the Bitcoin map.
https://www.qwant.com/maps nice front-end. https://openstreetmap.org The boring techy website. https://www.where2.cash Simple web-app for BCH merchants.

How to use DDG Maps?
It is a reduced version of Apple Maps, so only looking and navigation, unfortunatelly. I'd recommend Qwant Maps for that.

OpenStreepMap 2012 vs. 2022
If you go to "edit" mode on the openstreetmap.org website, you'll see aerial/satellite imagery too, licensed for free from bing and others. AFAIK, that license is only for editors, thus they can't have it on the main website (and that wouldn't be a showcase of OSM data anyway).
I agree it's a bit of a shame that the openstreetmap.org doesn't do a better job of showcasing the wealth of data, and it could be more user friendly. There are a lot of other websites that provide the same data, represented differently. https://osmand.net/map for instance. https://www.qwant.com/maps has vector maps and is quite good too!

Photon by Komoot is also using Elasticsearch for validating addresses and locations.

Autocomplete address from google places and mapbox seem to be extremely expensive. Is there any other good alternatives?
Alternatively, you could run your own Photon API: https://github.com/komoot/photon

The New GraphHopper Maps Route Planner
Open Source. The routing server is open source too and geocoding too.
- What is the easiest way to deploy OSM on the premise? like nominatim.openstreetmap.org, but offline version.
-
GraphHopper Routing Engine - Open Source Route Planning
To fully self-host a route planner (e.g. a "Google Maps" equivalent) you need GraphHopper for the routing and two other parts: you also need some visualization aka "maps" (e.g. with OpenMapTiles) and you need the address search (e.g. with Photon).

Question about privacy with Waze vs GMaps
There exists photon, but I don't know if it's used in any libre mapping app.

PSA: Use Acastus-Photon for better search for maps apps like OsmAnd
Acastus-Photon is an Android app that allows you to search up any address or point of interest on OpenStreetMaps and open it in OsmAnd or any other maps app. It relies on photon as it's open-source backend server (provides elasticsearch for OSM), so you can either use a public instance or self-host. This allows you to have search functionality as powerful as Google Maps whilst being able to use solely open-source software instead.
- OsmAnd~ address finding is terrible, copy and pasting lat and long is inconvenient, any alternatives that also respect your privacy?
What are some alternatives?
