OsmAnd still uses Android's own built-in geolocation to get network-assisted GPS location, and that built-in geolocation defaults to Google’s servers. So, Google still knows where you are even if you use an OSM-based map app instead of Google Maps.

Maps.me is an advertising-based business, and it is also controversial in the OSM community because it fails to properly credit OSM in violation of OSM’s license.
