There are open source navigation apps. No need for google.

    No, you misunderstand what I was trying to say, so I probably didn't communicate it well. You cannot use any of them, open source or not, without allowing the Google Play Services some rather invasive permissions. That's the Google I was referring to.

    Best thing to do is remove google play services if at all possible. Installing microg will solve most issues. This of course means rooting the device. Which is admittedly not an easy task when dealing with head units.
