I think they weren’t implying it’s the best option, just that it’s the lesser evil. You can definitely go for some other foss options or a separate satnav entirely, but Apple Carplay works on most cars without requiring additional software or tools. Obviously OP will have to buy an iPhone.
I use organic maps and it has worked great for me. I believe it uses the same map data as osmand so they should be effectively the same, but I like organic maps enough that I feel its worth mentioning.
I don’t think Apple cares about privacy, I think it’s just a convenient selling point since they don’t have an advertising program. That said, they are less intrusive than Google by a mile.

Yeah if privacy is a concern I seriously doubt Apple products are a good answer.

Thank you for mentioning this, just tried it and will be using it!
