So why am I running a version of android without Google services?Honestly, I wanted to see if it was possible and if I would notice a difference. This post is my experience with the process and about a month of being 'de-googled'.

    Cool.
    I am currently trying to find a decent alternative to Google Maps (Waze is owned by Google, BTW). Karta GPS so far has done well. Of course you have to pay for the traffic option (after the test period expires), but it's a one-time of ten bucks. Hardly breaking the bank. TomTom wants $22/year.
    I've already got email outside of Google, so all that I'd be stuck with is Calendar. I share calendars with others, so that's not going to change.
    Fun experiment.
