    Unless there is another app that will give me directions to multiple locations and either allow me to arrange those addresses or automatically arrange the addresses in the shortest distance to drive, I’ll be sticking to Google Maps unfortunately. It has its limitations, but I honestly don’t know of another app that can do this.

      OsmAnd will do that. If you edit the destinations you can manually specify their order. Click sort there and choose door-to-door to get the most efficient routing.

      The app takes some getting used to, but it works very well, and can act as a front-end for contributing to OpenStreetsMap.

        I’m trying it now, but it can’t seem to find some common addresses that I visit. I’ll attempt to use it, but so far it doesn’t look promising.

            Yep, this is what I do! After awhile of adding addresses and POIs, finding this info is no longer difficult in my area for the most part.

          It can help to download your local map for offline use. The default basemap doesn’t have details like house numbers, but the downloaded maps should.

          Yet for the moment, Waze and Google Maps remain separate products with different capabilities. Waze still seems to be the best for real time information while driving a car, though it has declined some, and I’m surprised Google hasn’t killed it.

            And yet the moment I find an alternative that works with Android Auto, I’m dropping Waze too. I try my best to actively avoid Google’s shit these days.

            And yes, for the pedantic, I know Android Auto is Google’s… If there was an alternative I’d take that too.
