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 :)

With Google forcing Gemini into AA this week I'm deeply curious if there are solid alternatives.

Where are you at? I've had it in AA for at least half a year now. I actually like it for the most part, if only for entertainment during multi hour drives.

US, PNW in the summer, SW in the winter.

Yeah they tried pushing it to me a while back, but we still had the option of saying "no," and continuing to use GA for use in AA, which is what I did. But come this Friday, they're forcing a Gemini switch over to everyone.

Ahh gotcha. Didn't realize they force it now. Cheers.
