I use OsmAnd which I think is also really good. I've heard nothing but good things about CoMaps too, like you said, which is a (seemingly well-justified) fork of Organic Maps.

If anyone's curious about contributing to OpenStreetMap too to make the maps in your area better, I know a bit, and I'd be happy to answer questions, even if they're just random curiosities. It's a lot of fun.
