The free app maps.me uses OSM pre-downloaded and is pretty good for navigation. It sucks for recording your track. There are a lot of similar apps, (Similar in function--of course the user interface varies greatly.). Maps.me also supposedly sends your changes to OSM but mine will not allow me to correct a wrong location or category. | |

| Jun 29, 2011 at 6:48 | comment | added | hippietrail | Are you saying OpenStreetMap's maps can be used on GPS units? Also how does this Garmin eTrex fit into my "cheap" requirement? I'm into openness though and would love to contribute to OpenStreetMap on my travels. | |
