I've been slowly degoogling myself this year. For ~80% of my search, DDG has been entirely adequate.

I do miss some of Big G's cards, and their Maps is vastly superior to DDG's Apple Maps integration, even despite GMap's advertising. DDG's solution is wild, really: they use Apple for static-image-only maps with no real contextual interface, only a sidebar for search results. If you want directions, you must search for your destination by text alone, then in the sidebar choose to get directions from one of four providers (defaulting to Bing).

But when I just want an engine to match the text I give it (i.e. most of the time), DDG performs at least as well as Google's increasingly-fuzzy matching.

use OSM it's much better anyway

I'll miss browsing street view for fun. I doubt I use it more than six times a year, though.

For actual turn-by-turn navigation, I never used a Google or Apple product. I use an offline iPhone app (Navigon).
