Note: If you don't want to deal with stuff like this, I recommend you download and use it from F-Droid client or Accrescent AppStore.

So, what about OSMand. Or Magic Earth. Or any other map app?

They're not "good enough" - they dont provide the same comfy UI/UX that google maps and organic maps does. And organic maps is offline, so literally no data harvesting.

I prefer the UI of Magic Earth than Organic Maps. And ME also has offline maps/navigation, given that it also uses OSM.

Osmand is the best but it's complicated and has too many features for a casual maps user. It's UI is not that bad as others suggest. I have both installed cause organic maps doesn't support saving routes/tracks.

I think OpenTracks could be a good lightweight alternative for simply saving tracks.

I have that too but i just use osmand cause it's more convenient to just create a route for bike. I use open tracks when I need to track my speed, distance, etc.

Honestly the osm ecosystem is really good. Best part is it's always getting better.
