[chiglug] Thoughts on Android variants? (In particular, Copperhead OS?)

[Dan Krol]

OSMand, because it's available on F-Droid. At least I used to use it for
navigation; the interface isn't great. But I still use it to walk around,
and it's really nice to be able to download an entire region.

I heard maps.me had a really good interface (it's commercial) and that it's
(pretty much?) FOSS, and also uses OSM, but it didn't qualify for F-Droid
yet. I think because of a dispute about using their servers (much like
Signal). https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/maps-me/
