OsmAnd is an amazing app that allows you to navigate the world offline. You can use it for directions, plan routes considering elevation, and save your travel history with GPX tracks. The greatest feature? It is completely open source and prioritizes your privacy by not gathering any personal information. This gives you complete control over the app's access to your data. Pretty impressive, isn't it?

Users can utilize the cool map view feature to choose their desired content on the map, search for locations by address, name, coordinates, or category, and choose from a variety of map styles suitable for different activities. The GPS navigation feature is also very convenient as it allows users to plot a route offline, customize navigation settings for different vehicles, and adjust the route to avoid specific roads. Additionally, the route planning and recording feature enables users to plan their journey in detail, save tracks in GPX format, and easily organize all saved routes.

OsmAnd allows users to create customized points of interest with various features such as favorites, markers, and audio/video notes. Users can edit OpenStreetMap data and ensure their maps are constantly updated, with updates occurring as frequently as every hour. The app also offers additional features like Android Auto support, a convenient compass and ruler tool, a user-friendly Mapillary interface, a night theme for those who prefer dark mode, integration with Wikipedia, and a large global community of users. Documentation and support are available for users who need assistance.

Purchasing Maps+ gives you access to a variety of features such as downloading unlimited maps, detailed topographical data, nautical depths information, offline access to Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. Upgrading to OsmAnd Pro includes all Maps+ features as well as the ability to backup and restore data using OsmAnd Cloud, additional pro features, and hourly map updates.

Overall, OsmAnd is an excellent app that allows you to discover the world without requiring an internet connection. It offers numerous great features such as assisting with navigation, route planning, and map customization. The app being open source and prioritizing user privacy only enhances its appeal, making it a favorite among many users.
