MAPS.ME users now can edit OpenStreetMap by themselves

From the issue referenced it seems like this is only done when the regions needed for routing are not already downloaded to the device. They do admit that the source/destination is sent to the server rather than just the regions, that might have been a reasonable balance. I was able to create a route from my current location to a new location, one I have never search for before going into airplane mode, across multiple regions already on my device.

The app statistics and ad delivery can be easily turned off.

OsmAnd looks pretty nice too.

I use OsmAnd and am currently evaluating Maps.Me.

One thing OsmAnd can do is to set multiple waypoints before the destination then plan a route that hits the waypoints before the destination. This is good for planning routes from A to B to C, etc.

I don't think Maps.Me can do this yet.
