I find just the opposite, Google maps is more accurate than the native sat-nav in my Nissan Rogue (in Hawaii at least), and if I enable Android Auto it comes up on the counsel, so reading the screen on the phone is moot.
The only issue I have is the Nissan sat-nav lady's voice is a bit more pleasant than the Google lady's.
That's offset a bit by the Nissan sat-nav reducing the radio volume when she talks, and Goggle's just talks over it so I don't miss comments on the radio because sat-nav is a butinski.
I haven't experimented with Waze, but I find Google's traffic routing seems a bit more up to date than Nissan's.
