If you don't need real-time traffic data, OsmAnd or Maps.me are both pretty good replacements.

The voice directions on OsmAnd is pretty horrid. It often doesn't say anything where there is an important turn and hardly ever says the street name to turn on to. I suspect it gets really confused by the little turning lanes on the edge of intersections which usually have no data in OSM as they aren't a real road.

If you have your phone in a dock with the screen on it's usable. Also the search is pretty bad and forget looking up most stores by name.

maps.me doesn't have traffic data? what is the traffic light icon in top left corner for?
