Congratulations! That's awesome! I've been Google-free for 2-3 years, but I haven't been brave enough to finally delete Gmail. I keep worrying I might need the message history one day?
Regarding Maps: I use OrganicMaps as my main, & I reflex to Gmaps WV when something isn't in OrganicMaps. I feel this is a reasonable privacy-friendly compromise.
You can transfer your entire Gmail email history to your new service very easily
Oh yeah? I didn't know that. I'll have to look into it, thanks!
I’m not 100% but I am close. Off gdrive, off gcal, off chrome, almost entirely off gmail. I’ll check out the maps!
