Magic earth,osmand+, Openstreetmaps Wps, only office, Zoho docs Offline only office is really nice Nextcloud Searxng Zoho mail is like Gmail a decade ago, protonmail is decent too

I found the OsmAnd+ user experience quite irritating, and OpenStreetMap is just a fancy database and not a competing product to Google Maps for the user who wants live directions/navigation. That said, for mobile use Organic Maps is pretty good: https://organicmaps.app/

Try magic earth, definitely made for driving

Try magic earth, definitely made for driving, and...all maps are just databases. Osmand+ is great after you configure the gui a bit

Because I can skip tons of pages, I can go back to the same page later.

Why would you ever skip a page of search results?

If you are using the exact same search terms you have used dozens of times, then you likely know what the first few pages of results are, and may want to skip to where you previously left off in your search.

Does anyone know which countries still have a regular google search with pagination? I was thinking about getting a VPN and using Google with a country that still has the old Google Search...

I'm afraid to jinx it, but I live in Russia, and it seems that this function has not yet been introduced here. I'm not sure if this will help, but before getting the VPN you can try going to Search Settings and changing your region to Russia.
