What Are The Best Linux Apps?
Pure Maps with OSM Scout Server for offline mapping and geolocation
-
Apple explicitly asks employees to merge their personal and work accounts
- build a minimal web page showing a Leaflet or a MapLibre widget, connected to a backend built using a compiled language like C++ or D, itself connecting to OSM Scout Server to provide the tiles. Or to OSM Scout Server directly if it is possible.
The last option is probably the most lightweight solution, provided you probably have a browser already running on your phone. I'm not saying this out of my ass by the way, I'm building an SMS app using Svelte for the user interface and D for the backend connecting to the modem and managing the SQLite database. It's way faster than chatty.

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps β 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:

OpenStreetMap proven to be a highly accurate map in top US cities
Surprisingly, the original is still being updated too: https://github.com/mapsme/omim
Is OMaps available for phones yet? All I can see is source code.

Why Openstreetmap as a product fails to compete with Google Maps β part 1/3
1) it is open source with at least Android app published under Apache-2.0 License ( https://github.com/mapsme/omim is still up)
2) commercial entity often develop open source software, this dychotomy is false
3) mapy.cz is strictly superior for hiking, and for most of foot navigation (at least in my opinion)

Maps.me is gone. We must bring it back
I don't have much simpathy for MapsWithMe: they were illegally using OpenStreetMap data by not providing attribution[2] to the project and never complied. I don't know if intentionally or not, but they didn't make life easy for the maintainer of the libre fork, which looks dead too.
