I use a vent clip on my dash and mount my phone there. I might look like an Uber driver, but it works well.

CarPlay and Android Auto are cool, but I don't like how it locks features out while the vehicle is in motion and I am not a fan of voice commands. The phone on the dash works perfectly and always stays updated with the latest maps and software.

Usually it's Google Maps, but I occasionally use Waze too. However, I might be paranoid, and I suspect they both slightly modify routing to put you closer to their advertisers. I also noticed that lately Google maps seems to frequently suggest routes that make me turn left or go straight across busy multi lane roads with no traffic light or no stop sign for cross traffic.
