> Google Maps Have you thought of Organic Maps? It's a really great OSM open source mapping app, obviously still missing public transport+ traffic data, but the quality of OSM data is surprisingly good and it's completely offline (auto downloads the region you're viewing a few MB at a time, or just download the whole world which is ~37GB (aside: it feels really cool to fit so much content on your phone - You can fit global Wikipedia + Wikivoyage + World Map on a 256gb phone) > Spotify Can you recommend a good self hosting setup for music? I'm aware there are pretty cool setups for movies but for music I haven't yet discovered any > none of the above is easy, it sucks, it makes you question your sanity...it might not be possible in the blink of an eye-lid. That's what prompted this Ask HN, it's crazy to notice it's quite hard to not have an account with any big tech

i think i tried organic maps - i tried punching in a destination - nothing happened. i can try again - do you use it for navigation? self hosting music - with a preface that you have drm free audio/mp3/flacs etc: airsonic works for cloud streaming music. rune audio is open source - if you have music on a computer/rasbpi with a HD connected to it - it has an android based remote control app so you can browse collection on phone - and press play from phone - then it plays off the physical rasbpi. nice solution imo. Looks good too :) See: www.runeaudio.com

  Yes I used it for navigation (when I was on GrapheneOS). it's a bit unintuitive maybe at first, when you punch in a destination a few buttons are in the bottom bar for depart from, depart to, favourite and so on. If you choose one, it will let you select the start/end and transport mode. It worked quite well, but obviously without public transport/traffic data. Thanks for suggesting those music services, will look into it :)
