PSA: there is already a FOSS OSM maps client that predates Organic Maps by a decade and is much more powerful. It's called OsmAnd.

Personally I wish all you guys would get with the FOSS spirit and pool your efforts a bit more instead of forking things every two years and reinventing the wheel. A good maps app is a hard challenge, there's not room for 10 of them.

OsmAnd puts essential features behind a paywall, like unlimited map downloads and CarPlay support.
