    DuckDuckGo is surprisingly good. It is my go-to atm on all my computers. If it only had better maps…

      I’ve replaced Google Maps with a physical Garmin navigation device in my car, as part of an intentional “deGoogling” of my life.

      At first switching to a Garmin felt like I had become my grandfather.

      But now that I’ve had it for awhile, I could never go back to Google Maps, anyway.

      • Garmin’s interface is much nicer, to me, in a bunch of subtle ways that add up.
      • I appreciate just saying “is it in the Garmin?” Instead of asking my SO to text me an address for the kids random event.
      • I particularly love my Garmin’s ability to predict which lane I need when driving a big city highway.

      The feature of Google I miss is “there’s an accident on the road ahead” which my Garmin cannot do because it is not constantly online.
