Another +1 for Apple Maps from me. I prefer how it handles navigation and even the look of the maps is nicer after years of using Google Maps. It plays nicely in the car with CarPlay too, naturally

I use android auto and carplay and for some reason Google maps is crippled on car play. Can't move the map around with the touchscreen or change routes easily, apple maps has those features on carplay and Google maps has those features on Android auto. I'm not sure if it's apple trying to push apple maps and disallowing those features, but it does push me towards apple maps or just using android auto for Google maps.
