I prefer OSMand over Organic Maps, because it has much more features, just the map renderer isn't as pretty.
But I mostly use it for pedestrian and bike navigation. But I think car navigation works very well as well.
Also, if the map data isn't so great in your region, you can try playing StreetComplete and help improve it yourself.
OSM is the Wikipedia of map data, and offers likely the most detailed map that we have.
For me the UI was just almost unusable. While the features are very nice and mostly unmatched, there is just no way to find them. Also it really killed the battery of my phone. While hiking it was fine, but for real time turn by turn navigations my phone died in about 2h compared to 4 or so on other apps
How is your phone only lasting 4 hours??
Full brightness and streaming map data all while having turn by turn navigations on. Also the app I am using is still not using the default rendering engine so probably less optimized than possible. With everything else I have no problem getting through a day with plenty of battery left
