How is it a downgrade to disable a torrent of shit you don’t want?
Drop some small change on a mobile-data-enabled tablet if you want Google Maps. Even better, use one of the many GPS apps based on Open Streetmap, or even Here We Go. Some of those have an excellent disconnected (from mobile data, not GPS) operating mode and route-finding that’s no worse than Google’s.
And use what
Nothing. Perhaps wean yourselves away from it.
So replace it with nothing. Down grade my experience. That’s your solution?
Use the radio which is full of ads and don’t use Google maps on my dashboard?

People have been navigating with physical maps a lot longer than smart phones.
Or use Open Street Map
I use Android Auto with open street maps
