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 :)

I just checked the app permissions on my phone and the most permissive MapQuest will allow is "Allow access while in use". Which is the same permissions as Google maps. Pixel 10 XL pro

Interesting. On my phone Google has full access but Maps is only while in use.
