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.

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.
