   Odd. Google Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS here. OsmAnd works perfectly fine for me without disabling any exploit protection options.

      CoMaps behaves very very weirdly on GrapheneOS. Same with OrganicMaps.

      Osmand and GMaps are working fine.

      Waze is almost melting the poor thing. Beside of that working fine.

            Anyone writing about apps compatibility should specify if it's with or without the play services

               Can you even run Waze/GMaps without Play services?

                  Yes.

                     For more precision:

                     Waze is fairly easy to run without play services. GMaps I haven't yet found a way to run, but also haven't looked in quite some time.

                        Google Maps used to work without it but recently gained a hard dependency on Play services. We could add more shims to make more apps work without it installed but that hasn't been a focus yet.

                           Makes sense. Any idea if there's any interest in a shim to get notifications working sans Play services?

                           I haven't looked at anything shim related in quite a while and am not super familiar with the notification stack for Android, so if that's a stupid question I apologize.
