O Drive and heard of it but don't use it.

My friends use it too. But a few months ago, it tried to send me cross country through a golf course.
On this summer's epic road trip, I relied on Navmii, which can download maps and store locally on your phone.

Quack former Royalty, I don't currently drive far enough in a week to keep in the top 1%.
It's far from perfect for driving but I like it better than Google Maps. My experience might be out of date because I haven't driving with an iPhone user recently. Waze would recalculate a route much faster. iPhone would waste a few minutes trying to get you back on the route.

I heard Google bought Waze.

Took me through a bank parking lot once, and it cut 5 minutes off of my trip.
...But it can't deal with changing traffic conditions as well since Google bought the company.
I find that I have to come up with my own routes pretty often to get around traffic that it should have routed me around. Instead, it just ticks up my arrival-time. Luckily, I remember some of the innovative routes it came up with before the acquisition.
