I’ve come to really enjoy OSM in recent months. It was spurred by rumors that Google was going to inject ads into their navigation, so in looking for an alternative (out of principle) I came across OSMAnd. OSMAnd has Android Auto support in the paid version, so I bought it. You can actually get the fully unlocked version of OSMAnd from F-Droid, but unfortunately installing it that way doesn’t support Android Auto because of Google’s bullshit.

Anyway, that lead me down the path of checking out OpenStreetMaps. openstreetmap.org has a nice tutorial to get you started, and you can also edit stuff from various Android apps (including OSMAnd).

I’ve added speed limits to roads around me, updated business information (hours, phone number, etc.) around me, etc. Obviously unless more people contribute it’s always going to lag behind Google Maps, but I like the fact that I’m contributing to something open.
