There's several apps to use open street map data. Organic Maps and OSMAnd to name a few. I use a bit of both along with Waze when needed.
I've tried them and prefer Magic Earth.
Also, you can contribute to make the maps more complete with Street Complete.
Magic Earth is proprietary FYI. Good privacy policy and good service, only real problem I have is its not FOSS.
Yeah, that is an issue. I just like its features and UI the most.
If you want a good comparision of the apps you can go to the open street maps wiki
Thanks! You too LWD!
