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!

I may be wrong but doesn’t Osmand have a topographical view or map setting or something
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.
Whats not foss about it?
There’s no info on fdroid regarding it not being foss
You’re right, neo store hides all that info nowadays. I wasn’t aware that it is now hidden.
For having a dedicated topo setup I would recommend OSMand. CoMaps/OrganicMaps does contour lines too but you can configure things way more in OSMand and it makes a huge difference. I have both apps so here are screenshots of the same place to compare
