I'm aware that this is a duplicate, but I want to suggest Qwant Maps as an alternative for Google Maps.

At least an option to change Google Maps if an environment config is not set.

Openstreetmaps would need to be a drop-in replacement, as in, you can change just the domain, and it will still work.

I believe that Qwant Maps is based on OpenStreetMaps

This has come up a few times before. Neither Quant Maps nor OpenStreetMap provide 1-to-1 link parity between Google Maps and their service, so it unfortunately isn't a viable alternative. There would need to be development of a separate "OSM link conversion" tool for the app, which would need to be separate from Whoogle.

If you're meaning just changing the "Maps" button to take you to OSM instead of Google Maps, that's technically doable, but would be confusing from a UX perspective (since direction and business location links in search results would still go to G Maps).
