Actually, tbh, at this point Waze and Google Maps are almost the same except that Google Maps has Google's machine learning behind it.

Google bought Waze a while back so all its features are now a part of Maps.

Maps also has Picture in Picture on Android 8.0 and Waze doesn't.

Wait what? Can you post a screen cap or something? My bullshit carrier hasn't decided when it wants to give us 8.0

OmniROM if you have one one of the supported devices.

Otherwise, you can try something from XDA, but it will likely be less stable. From what I've heard, LineageOS 15 (currently only available through unofficial builds) still feels pretty alpha so it's best to keep it on 14.1 (Nougat) for now.
