Does anyone who follows this more closely know what mapping support there will be? I worry that it will be hard to match the quality of Google/Apple Maps with free software. I've tried using OsmAnd, but it's just a terrible experience compared to commercial map apps. This is a big deal for me and I imagine many others, because losing the traffic data and turn-by-turn navigation of commercial map apps is a dealbreaker, but allowing me to get rid of these most invasive apps would be a huge selling point, and would probably get me to buy the device all on its own.

Good real-time traffic data is an emergent property of being an invasive platform. Maybe there’s a possibility of opting into position information uploading that goes to some open mothership(?) or decentralized mesh, but this is not going to ever be as good as google passively leveraging and aggregating its millions of phones in cars on the road.

OsmAnd definitely has some rough edges but it has rudimentary turn by turn navigation.
