Is there a good Android app for using offline OpenStreetMap maps? My primary goal is to have maps that work when I have no connectivity. I’d like to download the entire US (or perhaps another country if I am traveling) and be able to navigate hiking trails where no cell service exists.

    The droid page says that OsmAnd tracks and reports your activity. Magic Earth downloaded from playstore or Organic Maps are better privacy respecting choices.

      The tracking by osmand app doesn’t seem to be anything malicious or revealing. Developers, contributors, and users discuss the meaning of the tracking here, which is also referenced in the F-Droid page. After reading some back and forth, the level of privacy or lack of you get from the tracking seems subjective. I personally don’t agree with it but its not as nosy as gmaps.

      How are magic earth and organic maps any better in respect to privacy or tracking/reporting?
