Foss OSM-based navigator (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm looking for a foss navigator app for my android device, but all navigator apps I've tried (OSMand, organic map) are missing a feature: when I calculate the route from point A to point B, on Google Maps a few possible routes are displayed, and then I chose the one I prefer; on other apps only one possible route is displayed, and if for any motivation I don't want to pass from a certain street or something like this, I have no other options. Is there an app (or a way on these apps) to make it calculate a few possible routes instead of just one?

thanks in advance!

Keep in mind google / Apple are aggregating thousands of data points from other user locations, so they have a bit more real-time info with which to show you alternate routes.

I haven’t used FOSS tools but def agree a toll / no toll / no freeway / shortest (mileage) / quickest route options would be handy.
