I do still use Google Maps, albeit with all permissions other than network restricted (as I don’t use real time navigation, and have yet to find an alternative that matches it for business detail accuracy, street view and ease of use.)

Check out GMaps WV from F-droid, it’s the web version of Maps wrapped in a webview. It can’t do realtime navigation (because Google won’t let it) but you said you don’t need that. It can plot courses and give you all the details for them, just can’t do the actual live navigation.

It doesn’t need any Google-specific support on the phone, just a working webview.

Please note that, just like on the Maps website, you’ll get a nag screen to accept their cookies and they’ll show it each time you open the app if you reject cookies or close the screen, until you either accept or live with it. But the cookies will be restricted to that webview so the most they can do is track how you use the Maps website.
