I have quite a few old Android phones sitting around. From Samsung S3s to a OnePlus 6. I’m interested in using one offline in my car for GPS, to avoid Google tracking. Anyone have good recommendations for a GPS app with directions that I can use offline. I’d like to be able to download the data for the entire U.S., that I would periodically update over wifi, so I’d like this process not to be too onerous. Anyone else doing this?

      Last I tried, 1-2 months ago, voice navigation was not working properly for me, somehow very rudimentary output like just saying “next left” or something.

      Also since I don’t have a phone holder I don’t look at the screen while driving in the car, so I turn of the screen and Organic Maps does not give any voice output anymore then.

      Osmand+ works better in both cases.
