download the Maps for offline Navigation

Theres Streetcomplete for that.

Let people use whatever they want

I dont have a problem if you use something commercial. But at least dont fucking freeboot 90% of your Commercial thing (that being the maps) off my hard frickin work that I did under an Open Source License. You cant find something in openstreetmaps? Go and add it. You dont have time for that? Go and pay a volunteer on fiverr to do it for you. But dont install a fucking commercial App that Freeboots off of thousands of Peoples work, dosent even sponsor them so they can keep their servers Running, and then even steals my data for analytical use.

But why not just use Openstrretmaps?

SteamOS falls into the category of about 2 arch forks that have a reason to exist.

If you want free speech, you gotta free yourself from authorities.
