My Nest thermostats are the last Google thing and the last I’ll ever buy. I’ve completely degoogled my life except for the Nests, because they still work fine in HomeKit via my Starling. Once they kill the Nest thermostat E (and I doubt that’s very far off), I will be completely free of that shitty evil company. I’m almost looking forward to it.
What do you do for maps? Specifically directions while driving?
I've tried apps based on OSM but they get too unreliable outside of heavily populated areas.
Not who you're replying to, but I got an older Garmin GPS on ebay for like $30 (the nuvi 2589). Get one with LMT (lifetime maps and traffic) and a traffic receiver cable. I had to buy my traffic receiver separately, cost me $12 on ebay, but you could get a current one for $70 and it may work better.
