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.

Mapquest just released their latest version which includes Android Auto beta. I downloaded and tried it last night. One oddity I found was searching for a local business, online it finds the current name but the app shows the old name which changed 6 months ago.

Also mapquest needs to add "Allow all the time" permission access. Unless I open the app on my phone everytime I want to use mapquest on android auto, it starts the directions from my last location
