For car journeys, Here WeGo is very good, and is actually the mapping system in a number of European cars. It was a Nokia property, but now it's owned by European and Japanese car companies. https://wego.here.com/ It can be used on the web or via the mobile app.

Wow, this is excellent! I was sort of wondering whether the leftover bread and pastries from the shop nearby got donated or something, but apparently they and the little supermarket next to them are both listed in the app and sell their leftovers at 6.30 each morning to anyone who wants them. This could end up being dangerous (loads of pastries for less than two euro for the lot)!

Well that's rather concerning about the future rule of law, and the ability of the FBI to conduct investigations without political interference...

They'd be able to help secure Europe, could get some sales to EU countries and such, but I see this as a project that would deal directly with established armies (and countries' defence budgets) rather than going through the EU.

While that's fine for a situation in which an European army existed, Orban would almost certainly veto such a proposal. In fact, he'd probably veto the EU spending a substantial amount together and call the EU warmongers. The solution is to have countries act independently on paper (with leadership coordinating) so that the EU doesn't have to get involved in such a way that vetoes can block progress. That's just the state of affairs at the moment.
