> Uber drivers are allowed to use 3rd party navigation apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, etc.

are you saying that the Uber-Driver's-App/Backend will communicate with the driver via these different mapping apps? or that so long as they use the Uber-Driver's-App to stay in contact with Uber, that Uber accommodates them also using other mapping software?

You turn off the voice on Uber and use another phone for the navigation. Or multi task on the same phone.
As a matter of fact, most European Uber drivers do exactly this. I'm from Poland and over last few years I've seen a single(!) Uber driver actually using built in navigation. Also most of them also work for Bolt at the same time and juggle orders from both...
