First I've heard of Maps.Me, did a quick test of the adverts+binaries removed fork on F-Droid ('Maps') and it looks good.

As in, it's all OSM data but not directly from their servers? Or is maps.me adding extra some extra info to the displayed map?
- rmc 9y agoWhen you download map data from Maps.me, it loads them from the maps.me servers. But that's to be expected. openstreetmap.org isn't going to be hosting those files. Maps.me also includes some hotels from booking.com
- crtasm 9y agoThanks, I see the hotels now - they're also the first thing on the discover page (binoculars icon). I wonder if OSMand could make use of maps.me code to speed up their rendering - or perhaps it's not possible without cutting out information/features.
