If you want an offline map in the Android maps app, you select an area to download and it does just that. Any area.
Not true.
I can't download offline map for Brazil, it says it's not available in this region.
Getting a distance figure from driving directions is more useful, and a feature OSM doesn't have by lack of directions.
Not true.
Directions in OSM works well, even better than Google, as you can use it offline (there are places with no internet available at all, and no cell phone signal too); and you can add any number of waypoints you want, change their order, etc.
