Comment on Apple Maps will finally be getting offline downloads

For offline usage, I still prefer using Here WeGo (I still preferido download the full map). For the other 90% usage, Waze and Apple Maps are good enough.

For open source alternatives there is Map.me and Organic Maps.

Maps.me is neither open-source nor free, I believe they even introduced IAP at some point.
Organic Maps though is FOSS and it’s by the same developers. They both use OpenStreetMap mapping data, developers of which created Osmand which is just orders of magnitude more customisable. Quite a powerhouse of a navigation app, but may be overkill for some people.

Isn’t this it right here?

according to the OSM Wiki, Maps.me was sold in November 2020 and the source code was locked down. The original developers forked the original code and created Organic Maps.
