I am looking for an open source replacement for Gaia. I have been using an Android alternative OS for awhile (Graphene) and this is a program I have struggled to find a replacement for. I have found one option on github, but it doesn't seem to be maintained but otherwise would fit some of my desires (opentopomap). Openstreetmap has a topo layer, but there doesn't seem to be a mobile app that has the focus on topo maps. I mostly find open source options for dedicated GPS devices.

I don't expect to have what I get from Gaia but having the ability to get this info on the fly is very useful for me.

I hope this is an acceptable topic!

There is a topography plugin, you have to pay for it, but it's free in the fdroid version: https://osmand.net/docs/user/plugins/topography/

There is also a topo map style, similar to OpenTopoMap, but no contourlines: https://osmand.net/docs/user/map/vector-maps/#topo

Mapy is another osm based map app (except for Czechia, map data is different there), some of my hiking friends love it, it's not foss at all: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.seznam.mapy

Osmand is not fully foss as well.
