I’m looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?

      Well how else do you think navigation works?

      Of course it’s going to need data.

      Google gets away with it by streaming the data.

      Smaller 3rd party mapping companies don’t have the infrastructure to do that so you download map packages.

      That’s how it worked before navigation devices had always on internet connections.

      220mb for a city it really quite efficient, I wouldn’t be complaining.
