I use Magic Earth for driving directions and Organic Maps for looking around on a map, as imo Magic Earth sucks for inspecting a map.
I occasionally pair them with Transportr for public transit.
I do also still keep Google Maps around, as it just still is the best app for navigation. Sometimes I will check which rough route Google Maps prefers, and then use Magic Earth for the actual navigation.
If you want to fully ditch the Google Maps app without losing Google Maps completely, you could also try GMaps WV, a WebView wrapper for the Google Maps website.
