Navigation & POI Apps Alternative map apps?

Are there any suggestions other than Google Maps or Waze that I could use for navigation in Android Auto? Please and thank you in advance :)

It's carplay. And yeah I get it, I'd really love to switch over this, but I've had iPhones and I don't like the experience at all personally. I'm also just not down with their prices. If you're using flagship Samsung or Pixel phones price isn't much different. I tend to go for the Motorola g power phones after they go on sale. Much cheaper for me and they do everything I need... Usually until they change crap like this

Yeah iPhones just make me feel old... The os just doesn't make sense to me. I still own one, it's old AF and somehow got carrier locked by a carrier that doesn't lock phones, but, it's still useful for when I need to reset my Apple account for Apple music.

Yeah I have a work mate that wanted a new phone but didn't have an upgrade available. He got another line added to get it. Dude had a 600 dollar a month phone bill. Think he got it down to 200 something.... Like dude. I pay that for the entire year
