I wanted to like osm but the apps were all quite janky last time I looked. Way too much effort to get something clean and usable.

Have you tried Organic Maps? Works pretty well for me.

I can give it a look. I doubt it has much where I live unfortunately because I'm not in a major metro area. That was another problem with OSM for me. Very incomplete due to lack of users in the area.

EDIT: I take it back, it already looks more complete than I would have expected. I'm surprised! This one does look quite a bit better than the other ones I tried so I'll see what I think. Appreciate the suggestion.

+1 for Organic Maps. Shame it's not open source, but still. Ideal for walking and travelling.

Edit: I stand corrected!
