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.
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.
Traffic isn’t too bad where I’m at, but I find myself missing satelite images and streetview, both for exploring and locating garage entrances or anything else. Having said that, and thanks to my buddies here on Lemmy, I successfully eliminated over half of my proprietary phone apps and shoved all the remaining proprietary stuff in a single folder so I would only access it after trying the FOSS alternatives. Anything that has a web portal instead of an app is going next, and that includes Google Maps.
Organic maps is great, OSMand is great if more detail is needed.

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.

Organic map is crazy fast. I just wish it has trafic data but after a few weeks using it, that’s not a big difference in the end.
