I don't know if openstreetmaps provides a free tile server, but I could see that as an option for the more privacy minded. Or to preload a basic map so your not querying a tile server, and to go even further, preload a more detailed map like older offline GPS apps.

In the iOS app you can also add an option to use apple maps instead too.

You're not supposed to use OSM's free servers in production, and the options for running your own are assembly-required to such a degree that I can't even assess how far beyond my own skills they lie.
