I'm confused, because doesn't Duckduckgo Maps already use Apple Maps?

Kagi Maps has it as an option too. And it works on Firefox. 🤷

I didn't know Kagi had a maps functionality. It's interesting, but I couldn't find a way for it to tell me public transportation directions, the only reason I keep using Google Maps...

Yeah I can only find driving directions. I've come across other apps over the years but only ones on Google Play Store. I don't think I've seen any mobile apps that are open source and do my region.
