Thanks! I'll have a look!

Haha! I've always avoided the proprietary OSM clients because it's not 100% FOSS. But you're right! It's still better than Google Maps.

OSMAnd and the fork of MAPS.ME are FLOSS.

However, in the first one, avoid the nonfree complements and services (Mapillary is an example).

Have you tried Organic Maps yet? (I believe this is the "fork of maps.me" referenced in this thread)

You are all amazing!!!

I'm going to try out these suggestions over the next few weeks and put together a post with my experience.
