Finally, an open source maps app that doesn't suck
I am assuming this is talking about Android, but for Mobile Linux, Pure Maps has been awesome: https://rinigus.github.io/pure-maps/
I have been successfully using it for over four months now for both car an bike navigation.

Do you really want Linux phones
OSMAND (like any Android app) is unlikely to be ported, but we have PureMaps, which is quite solid: https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps, and GNOME Maps has been improving lately, too.

LTT mentions Librem5 in the PinePhone video (timestamped)
Ok, this one I'll agree with for the most part. Well, not to the same extent but whatever. Gotta say though, the Sailfish and Plasma Mobile communities have been cross-pollinating tech quite a bit lately; Sailfish Connect is based on KDE Connect, while Pure Maps was ported to Kirigami (and UUI for Lomiri). Yes, many of the mobile Linux projects have historically been rather isolated from each other. However, this is an area which the Qt-based ones have been getting better at rectifying for a while now. Hopefully this continued cross-pollination continues, as the entire mobile Linux ecosystem will be all the better for it.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

Organic Maps & OsmAnd~ are the classic map alternatives but i don't use them.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
