So how about OsmAnd[0] ? Supports fully offline mobile navigation. [0] https://osmand.net/ https://osmand.net/

I wish OsmAnd all the best, but ever since the app was created, its map rendering performance has been stuck in the 2010s, no matter how much faster our devices have gotten since then. There is justification for it for sure (see https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+slow+map+render https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+slow... for a few), and I love OSM out of principle, but as a product, it will remain my last resort until the user experience is tolerable.

  If you have an older device, there is a is night and day difference between OsmAnd~ (the F-Droid rebuild) and Organic Maps (the latest maps.me fork). OsmAnd visibly stutters to load in new tiles whereas Organic Maps is perfectly smooth even when zooming quickly. OsmAnd is still much more feature-rich, though, so it's worth using if you have a more powerful device. Although i do worry about the battery impact.

I want to switch to osmand and I've installed it and Google Maps, but I've yet to be able to use osmand full time. mostly because it never seems to find a full and navigate to it properly. The best way I've been able to use it is typing the address's postcode and then finally look for the number or building like a barbarian, but even that doesn't always bring up the result.

Organic Maps is also cool. Forked from the then-OSS Maps.Me client, which, to be honest, I liked better than OsmAnd. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.organicmaps/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/app.organicmaps/

We like OsmAnd+ a lot, we use Maps too but always keep OsmAnd+ loaded in case we need it. It does use a lot of storage but it's worth it.

OsmAnd does much better navigation than Organic Maps, but the interface is much clunkier. Has a lot of other features too, so good to have both.
