OSMAnd is spyware that leaks your travel history to the OSMAnd developers, even if you have analytics/telemetry turned off!

github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/is

github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-iO

This unethical and consent-violating data leak exists in both the iOS and Android versions. It's not an accident - they are deliberately phoning home with a unique identifier.

@sneak Good thing it's FOSS, someone should maintain a fork like @tenacity did with Audacity. This might be Android only (through F-Droid), but at least we'll be safe.

@james @sneak @tenacity You won't be able to download the map data from osmand.net anymore, so somebody would also need to provide this service.

@kaip @james @tenacity that's easy.

you could also ship a fork that has the same download urls, that's between the user and the server.
