OsmAnd+ — Maps & GPS Offline

INTRODUCTION

OsmAnd+ is an advanced offline world map and GPS navigation app for Android, designed for travelers, drivers, hikers, cyclists, and explorers who need reliable navigation without internet access. Built on OpenStreetMap (OSM), it offers highly accurate and customizable maps worldwide. Users can plan routes based on road types, vehicle size, terrain elevation, and even record GPX tracks completely offline. As an open-source app, OsmAnd+ ensures strong privacy—no user data is collected, and you choose what permissions to allow.

OSMAND+ PRIVILEGES (MAPS+)

OsmAnd+ provides enhanced mapping and navigation features for a complete offline experience. Enjoy Android Auto support for seamless in-car navigation, unlimited map downloads for global offline access, detailed topographic data with contour lines and terrain, nautical depth information for marine use, plus fully offline access to Wikipedia and Wikivoyage travel guides for detailed travel information anywhere you go.

MAP VIEW

The map interface is designed for clarity and customization. Choose the types of places you want to display—such as attractions, food, transportation, or health services. Search by name, address, coordinates, or categories. Switch between multiple map styles based on your activity: touring, nautical, winter and ski, off-road, desert, or topographic. Enable relief shading and contour lines for elevation detail, and even overlay multiple map sources for richer insight.

GPS NAVIGATION

Navigate offline with highly customizable routing options. OsmAnd+ lets you create navigation profiles for different travel modes including car, motorcycle, bicycle, 4×4, pedestrian, boat, and public transport. Modify routes to avoid specific road types or surfaces. On-screen widgets display essential travel information such as speed, distance, estimated arrival time, and distance to the next turn.

ROUTE PLANNING AND RECORDING

Plan routes point-by-point using one or multiple navigation profiles at the same time. Record your trips using GPX tracks and analyze elevation, distance, and route progress. Display your own or imported GPX files for navigation, or share GPX tracks with the OpenStreetMap community to contribute route data for others. Ideal for hiking, biking, traveling, and long expeditions.

CREATION OF POINTS WITH DIFFERENT FUNCTIONALITY

Mark and organize important map locations effortlessly. Save Favorites for quick access, create temporary Markers, or add audio and video notes to record on-location details for future reference—perfect for explorers, researchers, and travel content creators.
