From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OSMAnd is pretty nice, but Organic Maps is just way better IMHO.
Better how? I've only played around with OSMand a little but it seems very full of features and options.
That’s its strength and its weakness imo; the UI is not as clear as the Organic Maps’, and it feels relatively cluttered.
Also, Organic is both gratis and libre, while OsmAnd is subscription based on iOS. It is a one time purchase on Android though, but that still means the full app isn’t gratis.
You can get OsmAnd for free through fdroid on android.
