Is there a good Android app for using offline OpenStreetMap maps? My primary goal is to have maps that work when I have no connectivity. I’d like to download the entire US (or perhaps another country if I am traveling) and be able to navigate hiking trails where no cell service exists.
OSMAnd and Organic Maps
I’m partial to the former and I’ve noticed, specifically while hiking, that it is better than GMaps for navigating and finding paths.
Both of these apps are meant to be used offline.
I wish there was a way to automatically contribute traffic data to get the same level of car navigation that google maps offers. I find myself going back to Gmaps for that because are a lot of road closures on my way to work right now and the fastest route changes daily.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android also lists offline support
OsmAnd was specifically designed for offline use, downloads the maps and runs the routing all offline. Can do both online as well but by default after download it’s all offline
OsmAnd, best downloaded from Fdroid. It has profiles for driving and hiking so you can use it for both with different settings.
