Here Wego is the worst maps service I've ever had the displeasure of using. Amazon used to use it for deliveries (maybe they still do), and it took almost a year to get it to recognise that my house was not 8 miles away on a completely different road. It messed up the Amazon routes as the route it picked was all in that same area, except my house, that was 8 miles away.

I recently discovered Monocles.eu, they are a privacy respecting email, chat (Matrix?), drive (Nextcloud?), social (Mastodon) and translator platform. I'm still forming my opinion, but they look good. In France, there's also the Chatons who propose local alternative hosting of many common services, such as Nextcloud, Mastodon, Matrix, Mattermost, VaultWarden, etc.

For mail I use mailo which is french. But I use a lot of other providers like disroot and my own email domain.

Canada wants to know: why not zoidberg?

I'm using Obsidian. That's Canadian. Very good editor/PKM in my humble opinion.
