Is there a good Android app for using offline OpenStreetMap maps? My primary goal is to have maps that work when I have no connectivity. I'd like to download the entire US (or perhaps another country if I am traveling) and be able to navigate hiking trails where no cell service exists.

you’ll get the paid version for free if you make contributions to OSM once in a while

How does that work?

If you are an active OSMer you can activate the "OSM edits" plugins, connect it with your OSM account and you can get OsmAnd live for free every month (see official guide).

@Mannivu @scorpionix the Live updates are hourly not once a month.

I know, but the user contributions to get the Live subscription are checked every month.
