I do not own any android devices yet. I fond some of my colleagues are using maps.me application in Apple and andriod phones that make use of the openstreetmap.

For me, Ubuntu Phone is interesting, but not enough to warrant a purchase. I hope that there will some day be devices that are based on a system-on-chip that is supported by the mainline Linux kernel. With both Android and Ubuntu, my understanding is that upgrading the kernel is practically impossible, because some drivers are tied to a specific kernel version.

When I posed my question to the list, I was thinking of a dedicated GPS/satnav device, not an app on a smartphone or some other Android device. I am a cycling enthusiast, and I don't want to use my smartphone while riding, so I prefer a dedicated GPS device. I suppose such a thing that supports open mapping format does not exist (yet).
