So everyone’s switching to foss alternatives, right?
OSM?
Spread the word, share with your friends, etc.

I recommend CoMaps on Android, (or Organic Maps, which CoMaps forked from when Organic started enshitifying)

Curious for myself and the people on the thread, looks like it’s based on OSM still. What does CoMaps offer over OSMAnd?

I wasn’t saying it was different from OSM, I was suggesting it as an OSM client.
It offers superior user experience that is almost on par with Google Maps but without being Google Maps (and some things it does better, like more detailed instructions).
It does highlight a lot of glaring issues with the OSM data itself though, be prepared for that - OSM lacks tons and tons of individual street addresses, which is very frustrating. I add them when I can but its too much on my own.
