I prefer Organic Maps over Google for navigation pathfinding and interface. It doesn't do any of the flipping back and forth on route selection. It tells you your exit well ahead of time including exit number every time. None of the "in 13km stay on the road you're already on" annoyance.

The only thing Google Maps has better is their access to user GPS tracking data and user saturation, so they can identify slowdowns and reroute.
