Maybe organic maps?

Thanks for the reference. Will try it out. Always had issues using openstreetmap for some reason. This seem more integrative rather than have the navigation app and the actual map being two separate entities.
Yeah, it's worth a try. The usability depends on the trips you take and other factors. You need to download the maps beforehand.
I like it when I'm on foot or when I ride my bike, but for longer car trips I use other (online) apps for the traffic warnings and because I only have local maps downloaded.
It seems that ir doesnt have android auto version.
Since I updated my lineage version all gps apps that i've tried crash on android auto :(
