In keeping with this opening post and what was already said by others I think you have one of two main choices:
First choice; download an app that lets you plan ( and download ) your own route using one of the mapping websites or...
Second choice; Use an app like Google map or an app that uses OSM and navigate your own route as you go. To do this you may need to stop for a couple minutes here or there to scroll the map to see what options you have.
Personally I prefer option one. I like planning ( and downloading ) my own route in advance. If for some reason I want to change things up while on the ride I can always close out the route and just use the basic map. Works for me.
