Mobile Linux actually has a really nice car navigation app: https://open-store.io/app/pure-maps.jonnius
It uses OpenStreetMap data and can be (optionally) used fully offline.
there's a magisk module for microG Androids (https://github.com/sn-00-x/aa4mg) that brings in some proprietary AA stubs that work in that environment. It pulls in the necessary gplay dependencies (assistant aka velvet, tts engine(?) and Maps). You could use https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script and load this module in magisk.
Then there's a thread where users assemble a patchset for ROM / Android GSI builders to use AA as a user app, making it more accessible than it being a priv-app - https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/897
The waydroid gapps image comes with Google services. I'm trying to install from Google play, but it says my device isn't compatible. I've read that I have to self certify it in order to get Google play protect certification working. Maybe that's the problem. I'll try and see what happens.
