Our latest car, a Honda CRV, doesn’t have SatNav. Phone apps have replaced it.

Point taken. The first SatNavs were separate devices from the car, then they were integrated, and now perhaps the trend will go back to separate units via apps, at least for some users. But my 5-year-old phone probably won't run these apps...and I won't be bullied into buying a new phone every year to keep up with apps.

My four-year-old iPhone SE runs pretty much all of them just fine. Check whatever app store goes with your phone. WAZE is based on Google Maps and I prefer it for long-distance drives because of the speed trap warnings and traffic jam notices. It like Google Maps is free

Apple Maps also work well especially if I’m navigating around an unfamiliar city.

On newer cars, the phone display uses the car display, on older ones I mount the phone on the dash and turn the volume up.
