Do not try installing Maps.me now. It's been sold twice and current owners kept only the name, replacing the original code with a Mapbox demo app.
AFAIK, the spiritual successor to Maps.me is Guru Maps.
But if you can live with the complexity of OsmAnd UI, just get it from F-Droid to avoid the 5-maps limit imposed by the Google Play version.

- matkoniecz 6y agomapy.cz is fine. I recommend paying for OsmAnd if you use it and it is not a very serious amount of money for you.
- lucb1e 6y agoHaving recently done the math on how much it costs to process the whole planet file into packed regions, I'm surprised it's so cheap, a one-time payment, and payment is not even supported at all in the F-Droid version.
- m4rtink 6y agoJust cutting the global planet file to regional data packs is really not that hard - I did it some time ago in a beefy server with 48 Opteron cores and 256 GB of RAM and it less than 12 hours. I would assume it would take less than a week even on a normal modern PC. If you need to do some more processing per region, that could be more involved but still doable. You can also do a lot of caching and prioritization or even diff updates possibly so you might not have to fully reprocess whole regions.
