> It looks quite polished but for an offline feature set OsmAnd~ has a lot more and is more established

OrganicMaps is a fork of Maps.me, which is very well known among the general public: 55k ratings on the Apple Store and 50M downloads on the Play Store for Maps.me vs. 1.8k and 10M for OsmAnd.

Unfortunately a lot of people who use Maps.me/OrganicMaps don’t know that maps come from OSM, whereas with OsmAnd it’s clear right from the name.

OM has quite clear attribution, as required by ODBL license of OpenStreetMap data.

OsmAnd feels like an app for a map nerd, and I like it.
