It's better in Europe than North America, due to the Euros selectively caring about freedom (deserved dunk, lol), but if enough people cared it could change for the better here.

As it stands, I'm currently cycling between both while I'm still using Googledroid; when I go over to Graphene fully, OSM (either through Organic or OsmAnd, haven't decided since the latter crashed a lot the last time I used it) will likely take precedence, with GMaps being used as strictly necessary.
