https://f-droid.org/packages/app.organicmaps/ or https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps

Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by the community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware.

https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/ or https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand

This project aims at providing comfortable map viewing and navigation (routing) application for mobile devices. Particular stress lies with complete offline features (via pre-loaded offline map data) or economic internet usage.

Alpi Maps is a map application to help you prepare and enjoy your hike! Get all the info you need before you go, then enjoy all the data offline during your hike.

I love the app MagicEarth for turn by turn navigation GPS. It uses OSM!

Magic Earth is proprietary, though. You can believe their privacy policy, but I have trouble believing any privacy policy if I can't see the source code.

"Contains no known trackers" according to AuroraStore + free and no adds

For anyone wondering "where do they get their money?"

It's from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don't sell any of your data

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

Bottom of their faq

I haven't been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent
