Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What Are The Best Linux Apps?
Pure Maps with OSM Scout Server for offline mapping and geolocation

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps – part 1/3
There are on device or even in browser renderers that only need remote or locally stored vector data to render the map. This moves the burde of rendering to user devices that should be more than capable for this today (especially if you use a GPU renderer) and makes you server into just a dumb data pipe that should be able to scale much better & more cheaply.
One such renderer available via Qt/QML:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-plugin-mapboxgl.html
Alternatively you can have a local daemon running that does the tile rendering on your device from offline data packs. This way even "legacy" apps requiring simple bitmap tiles will work without (major) changes. One such project providing this (among other APIs) is OSM Scout Server:
There is the OSM Scout Server project, that makes it possible to download various OSM based data packs for offline use:
https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server
Then it provides various services (routing, PoI search, geocoding, etc.) over this data set to all applications running locally on your machine. It targets mainly various mobile Linux distros but works perfectly fine on desktop as well and is available in flatpak form.
Like this all navigation and mapping can share the same data set and no potentially sensitive location related metadata is leaked to a remote server other than what data packs have been initially downloaded.
Also the community run infrastructure just needs to be able to store and store and distribute the ~150 GB of data packs covering Earth but does not need to have any extensive compute and memory requirements to handle lots expensive of individual API queries.

Wahoo equivalent of Garmin Connect, Lezyne GPS Root or Hammerhead Dashboard?
You are correct, Valhalla is used for routing. Maps are rendered on the ELEMNT, BOLT and ROAM with mapsforge, BOLT2 with vtm. To look at map files there is cruiser cruiser (mapsforge) and cruiser-gl (vtm). Create updated maps with wahooMapsCreator. There is also some documentation how to add POI's or make a custom theme.

for an example. It's perfectly smooth. The application is closed source but the underlying renderer (VTM) is LGPL3. The renderer, https://github.com/mapsforge/vtm, is basically an OpenGL alternative for the mapsforge offline maps format and maintained by the same guy (the original mapsforge renderer is arguably a bit slow, struggling to hide its slowness behind cached tile bitmaps).
What are some alternatives?
Mapsforge - Vector map library and writer - running on Android and Desktop.
