What is it?

OsmAnd (OSM Automated Navigation Directions) is a map viewing and navigation application for mobile devices. It uses OpenStreetMap data that can be downloaded per country or region and stored on the device, so routing and map display work without an internet connection.

The app provides turn-by-turn voice guidance for car, bike and pedestrian travel, with optional lane guidance, speed limit display and automatic re-routing when the user leaves the route. Users can search for addresses, place types and coordinates, save favorites, and display POIs, GPX tracks and online or satellite tile layers.

OsmAnd also supports contributing back to OpenStreetMap, including reporting map bugs, uploading GPX tracks and adding POIs. The codebase is written in Java and the project publishes build documentation for developers.
