damn, rip Waze 🥲 never really used it but could see the value

osmand - https://osmand.net/ - is open source, their plus app that has more features and android auto support is paid on the play store though.
Can recommend Organic Maps, works great. Its Open Source and with OSM data. But its offline only so you need a lot of free storage space and don't get stuff like live traffic infos, ratings etc.
