Locus Map & OsmAnd Resources
The one or other might already know Locus Map, a great mapping and navigation solution for OffBoard (online) and OnBoard (offline) use I was using myself for quite a while. So this page is dedicated to some resources on it: Addons, links to tutorials, and more.
For a while now I've switched to OsmAnd+ – and hence want to give this open source solution room in the resource collection as well. Similar to Locus Map, OsmAnd offers offline maps and navigation, has several addons, even has POIs integrated, and more.

OsmAnd
OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions) is a map and navigation app for Android and iOS (see Wikipedia for details).
If you want to contribute to the OpenStreetMap project (yay!), please see Data Gathering for map providers. You don’t necessarily need to be a pro for that – there are also apps for beginners.
