Using maps service on degoogle phone?

Noob question, It is possible to use maps service on complete degoogle phone without using any of google thing like MicroG? Currently my maps service is broken and I don't know which system app missing to make a map service usable.

I guess I'm missing something like "maps provider"-system app.

- This is awesome, thanksss!!
  
  Organic maps is really useful. As well as degoogling and general privacy you can download entire country maps for offline navigation & support CarPlay - (having an offline map absolutely saved my bacon recently when I had zero phone signal)
Try Osmand or Organic Maps. Both available from F-droid. Magic Earth is an option if you're using Aurora Store or downloading APKs.
- Magic earth is really good for free navigation. Osmand is better if you hike and/or need bicycle paths and so on.
  
  I'v been using it (ME) as my main navigation tool for the last two years, as it comes preinstalled on /e/os. it's verry efficient and user friendly indeed !
I have a degoogled phone that runs the google maps app just fine if I want it. Otherwise yeah as other people said, Organic Maps is good.
