What do you mean "Have to compile the source code"? OsmAnd+ works perfectly out of the box on android phones. Unless you mean compiling it to use a different map source. It currently uses openstreetmap.org as map source. openstreetmap.org have great maps, and are very complete in Europe and N. America. In China though, many of the smaller tertiary roads are missing or incomplete. What is there though is not affected by offset issues. Further, Osmand+ works quite well as a turn by turn navigation tool. I used it daily in Canada as a service technician getting to addresses all over my territory. In China it is all I use and it gets me where I need to go. For backroads and hiking trails, there is not much listed but I turn on tracking and upload all my tracks to the openstreetmap.org servers so it is there for the next user. Osmand+ links to updated openstreetmap.org maps about once per month so what you download is pretty up to date.
In China: 2013 Benelli 600gs
In Canada: 1980-'85 Shovester (under construction), 1983 kz440
