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.

Osmand to my knowledge Limits the number of offline maps you get for free, mapy.cz does not. In mapy.cz you also get the terrain for free.

mapy.cz is built by a company which loves tracking and advertisements. OsmAnd doesn't limit you if you use the OsmAnd+ version, which is paid on the Play $tore but free on F-Droid. There are also Organic Maps, which are completely free.

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

Hey, your links are incorrect. It should be https://mapy.cz (single P) instead of having two P's - which link to a lingerie website... Can you edit your post?

You can enter the giveaway and try to win the OsmAnd+ version.
