I plan to drive in a city. I would like to decide to decide my exact route by drawing it on a map, then have a navigation software help me navigate to make sure I follow the route.

Which solutions exist to let me draw a path on a map and have a navigation software on my Android phone guide me through it?

The GMaps phone app only allows users to specify stops:

I use a map app, OmsAnd in my case but there are several others that can do this as well, into which I can import GPX files. These are premade exact routes which the map navigation follows.
When you left the track, like for roadworks, it will send you back to the nearest point of the track or allows you to indicate how to get back to the track.

One disadvantage is that it does not do spoken instructions from a track.

I know some map apps do allow to preset a route and do spoken instructions. I just never bothered to learn how to do it with my app, not needed where I cycle.
