Navigation, Routing(online), OSM map display (tiles or vector) (offline), POI and address search (offline), submit OSM bugs, mark favorites, public transport info etc. Actively developed.

OsmAnd (OsmAnd homepage, nightly build .apks) is a fully open OpenStreetMap-based navigation app for Android.

You can find a an almost daily compiled fresh version of the Osmand apk-file ("latest") at http://osmand.net/ ... in case of an older version offered at the official Android market. (but be aware that this can be an unstable or experimental version, and it is not auto-updated via market)

display vector OSM maps (*.osm.pbf, *.obf) and many tile maps (Mapnik, Osmarender, Google Maps/Satellite/Terrain, CloudMade, Cyclemap, OpenPisteMap, MapSurfer.Net, Microsoft Maps/Earth/Hybrid)
layers for POIs, public transportation stops, OSM bugs, favorites, GPX tracks and Yandex traffic
can use offline vector maps and address indexes created with OsmAndMapCreator
search address/POI/location using offline indexes or via Nominatim
turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation, with online routing from CloudMade, OpenRouteService or YOURS
simple offline navigation (still missing: turn restrictions and barrier processing)
auto-zoom based on speed
auto-rotate map based on direction of movement or compass
history and favorites
car/bicycle/pedestrian presets
add POIs to OpenStreetMap

Hints for using offline map data:

offline map data files that can be used with OsmAnd have *.obf as file extension.
in latest versions of these map files all vector map data, POIs and address indexes for offline search are included.
you can generate your own *.obf files by getting fresh raw OSM data for example via geofabrik.de or cloudmade.com, then process these osm files with OsmAndMapCreator (Java program for desktop PC) that is offered at Osmand's Google-website (try to get latest nightly build).
when you have several *.obf files for single regions of a certain country, you can combine them with inspector.bat or inspector.sh that is delivered with OsmAndMapCreator. Start this script on a command line without any parameters to see all options and proceed.
Maybe there is a named street in the OSM data, but OsmAnd cannot find it via its offline address search? Run the above mentioned inspector with parameter -v and [nameofyourmapfile].obf >list.txt ... this will give you a text file with all places that are within that obf file and all streets that are associated to that place. Thus you can find out wether OsmAnd's street list is incomplete (this can have several reasons like missing administrative borders etc.)
