Maps.me is neither open-source nor free, I believe they even introduced IAP at some point.
Organic Maps though is FOSS and it’s by the same developers. They both use OpenStreetMap mapping data, developers of which created Osmand which is just orders of magnitude more customisable. Quite a powerhouse of a navigation app, but may be overkill for some people.
according to the OSM Wiki, Maps.me was sold in November 2020 and the source code was locked down. The original developers forked the app, reused old code and created Organic Maps.
For open source alternatives there is Map.me and Organic Maps.

Isn’t this it right here?

Well that’s bittersweet. I did not realize it had been sold. At least it was forked though. Thanks for pointing that out!
