I switched to Organic Maps on Android. I’m still figuring out how to make it convenient (some apps seem to prefer trying to open with Google Maps which is now disabled) but it works on Android Auto and gets me to destination just fine.
I tried this on a trip a couple days ago and had to go back to Google. It wasn’t giving me street names or exits in the navigation. It’d say take the next right instead of take exit 17 for example. Completely missed a fork and didn’t tell me which way to go. Google has issues too but first impressions for organic was not positive.
If you open the android settings for Organic Maps (where you adjust permissions), there should be one called “Open by Default” or something like that. Just add all the links that are presented there.

For car navigation use Magic Earth. It’based on Openstreetmap too, Han has the best routing algorithm I found so far (yes, better than Google).
Han? Have you links tk these?

I also recommend downloading StreetComplete, which lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database.
Here WeGo is a good alternative that can work fully offline too.
