It lost all the maps I had downloaded through the app after the folder change, so I had to download the world map again, for example, and it ended up at the root of the folder too, that's how I figured it out. I put the OBFs directly at the root of /storage/emulated/0/osmand. OsmAnd asked whether it should move all its config files there, I said sure, go ahead. I decided it would be /storage/emulated/0/osmand as this is a place I can see when connecting the phone to my laptop. To view OBFs that I didn't download through OsmAnd, I first had to change the directory where its data is stored to one where I can push stuff (non-rooted phone).įor that, I first went to Settings > General settings > Data storage folder and switched it to "Manually specified.". Answers at that question do not solve the problem here. obf POI file in OsmAnd this question is about maps, not POIs.

According to their website that supports online OSM maps as well.The map file provided by OsmAnd for a particular region has inaccuracies, so I would like to use this fixed OBF file instead.īelow is the procedure described on the website providing the fixed map, unfortunately it did not seem to work (when viewing the whole country the regions downloaded within OsmAnd (official OBF files) are highlighted in green, but the non-official region does not show in green).įirst, uninstall any standard OsmAnd maps of the region, because theyĬopy the map file to the Android device. You mention TTQV above - I guess that that's referring to this. If you want something on a PC, perhaps QLandKarte or Marble?

I can't comment about iOS, but a reasonable Android online and offline recommendation that uses OpenStreetMap data would be OsmAnd. Which one is best will depend on what you want to use it for - have a look in the OpenStreetMap wiki lists that Frederik linked to. In your mobile phone's app store you'll probably see lots of applications using OpenStreetMap data. Because of this freedom, there's no need for a "standard" OpenStreetMap application for a particular breed of mobile phone, hand-held GPS or car sat-nav. Within the restrictions of the licence, anyone can use this data to create a map, and how it looks is entirely up to them - it's not like Google Maps where the only map you can have is the one designed the way that Google designed it. If you select the layer switcher at the right-hand side (the thing that looks like a stack of books) you can choose another representation - one that highlights bus routes, for example. The standard "map" that you see at is made from this data, but it's only one possible representation of it. The links that you see when you click "export" at the top of an map page allow you to either to export a small part of it directly or download a section of it. Maybe you can link me to that page.Īt its heart, OpenStreetMap is essentially a very big pile of data. I suspect that if I could find the introduction/how OSM works and how to use it page I might have not needed this post.

Not a problem as they will be fine, just wondering really. IE more detailed than rad maps but not as good as OS maps. One thing I have noticed is that the maps are rather vague. Is this application that sort of thing?Īll I know is that I was told that OSM was a good source of maps. The maps are there (from a variety of sources) and calibrated to TTQV. Is this the application? I do this on my lap top connected to my GPS via a program called TTQV. I assume then that I either have, or load a way of the phone talking to the map. I am not sure what you mean by application.Īll I want is to get a map on my phone. Do you mean OSM supplies a map? I assume so although the technical term is not familiar in that context.

I was asked if I wanted to save or open, I tried open as I wasn't sure what I might save and I was asked if I wanted to open it via a program from the web. The online bit was when I tried to send the map section I had open.
