The offline maps experience is generally worse though. The real solution here is to just not install apps that waste your time. Plus turning off notifications.
I’ve never found an app that works as well as Google Maps. I’ve tried a bunch and none of them provide so much useful information during a drive. Like telling me what lane I need to be in for an upcoming direction, letting me know the speed limit and what speed I’m actually going (motorcycle speedo reads high). Giving me info on slowdowns ahead and letting me reroute if there is a faster route. Speed trap notifications.
I’ve turned off so many notifications and restricted so many permissions that my smartphone can get a little buggy, but no notifications and Do Not Disturb mode can go a long way. Now I just need to break my social media addiction, and that has proven to be a long battle.
You can buy a phone and leave it in the car for navigation. You can download maps and use it offline.

Depends on which app you’re using

OSMAnd has all of those features.
I tried that and the UI felt janky as fuck. Definitely not something I’d want to mess with during a ride.
That’s too bad. Works really well for me.
A ride? Like on a bike? If so I’d recommend a cycling to computer.
Motorcycle, as I mentioned in the previous post.
