Regarding OsmAnd:

The download limit is in the free version on Google Play to encourage 
users to upgrade to the paid version and so to support development.

Since OsmAnd is open source a custom build would not have this limit. 
Such a custom build can be found at 
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=net.osmand.plus
Installing F-Droid itself could also be beneficial, from their site: 
"F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source 
Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it 
easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device."

If you use the F-Droid build of OsmAnd I suggest donating to the OsmAnd 
project to support development. (Please note that I'm neither involved 
in F-Droid nor in OsmAnd.)

HTH,
