Beware of fiddling with a mobile phone on the journey though for obvious and recently revised reasons.

With most modern cars you can connect the phone to the car with Android Auto / Apple CarPlay and then you can use the car’s display and controls, which is legal, although ironically probably no safer.

If you use your phone in a cradle, then perhaps getting used to the voice control for the phone is a good idea.

A new (to me) contender is Organic Maps.

lean (57mb), ad & tracker free and uses minimum ‘phone permissions.
battery friendly.
fully featured (open street map based) and works offline.
