Well you may want to download the Maps for offline Navigation and OSM is not that great for editing on mobile. Let people use whatever they want for Open street map as long they use it.

download the Maps for offline Navigation

Theres Osmand (Source availible) and Organic maps (open source) for that.

editing on mobile

Theres Streetcomplete for that.

Let people use whatever they want

I dont have a problem if you use something commercial. But at least dont fucking freeboot 90% of your Commercial thing (that being the maps) off my hard frickin work that I did under an Open Source License. You cant find something in openstreetmaps? Go and add it. You dont have time for that? Go and pay a volunteer on fiverr to do it for you. But dont install a fucking commercial App that Freeboots off of thousands of Peoples work, dosent even sponsor them so they can keep their servers Running, and then even steals my data for analytical use.
