OrganicMaps is a fantastic alternative - based on OSM data

Gmaps WV while using VPN. Download from Fdroid.

Its miles ahead of something like Osmand , which i really, really, tried to like for a year, but its a UX disaster (i could never ever figure it out)

I have used OsmAnd for maybe 10y. And it has been surprisingly good

Several countries. Works offline. Saves the journey taken

Not the best at finding places sometimes. Food places and ratings still has to be google or trip avisor, but those are very relative too. Wherever you go the key e some preparation anyway

For direction I think it is rock solid

Kagi Maps isn't bad, it's slow but POIs are there with enough data.
