Leave a Review OsmAnd Maps Travel & Navigate
Really Appreciate it but…
look i get it we all wanna find an alternative to google, but you can’t make it this hard. the settings and functionality of this app are just unnecessarily convoluted. wanna change something on the display? good luck, there’s like 7 different places it could be, and even then you'll somehow only change what you wanted for a different mode you didn’t know existed. the learning curve is just too high. make it simple and lots more people will use this. we need a private mapping alternativeShow lessjk1212

The app is rather powerful, but has ENORMOUS amount of bugs and poor UX.pronvit_au

Ima be walking an 11 hr “trip” to another place & ofc I’ll have no Wi-Fi so I asked ChatGPT and it told me this app!!!! Rlly nice UI and navigation & pathfinding algorithms work well offline… if a map doesn’t download try clearing a few gb of space even if u think u have enough (it needs room bc the data is claustrophobic)… & u can set ur own important points like “my house” and “(another place im goin to)” rlly nicely & it still pathfinds for FOOT between them (not js car)!!! Get this app bc it works even better then online maps work when they have Wi-Fi, & u don’t even need Wi-Fi to use itShow lesspiffie...
CarPlay needs some work
This is a good all rounder. The ability to create profiles and add vehicle dimensions sets it apart from some of the competition and is useful for motorhome owners.
It would be good to be able to customise the screen in CarPlay more, the competitors have the edge in this area. Live traffic doesn’t seem to exist / display on the map. Switching between this and TomTom whilst driving really highlighted this.
For me, CarPlay is how I use my sat nav apps so unless improvements are made in this area and Live Traffic I won’t be renewing my subscription.Show lessNefilim0898
Love it and hate it
Great customisation but rather clunky to use, with obscure menus and upgrade pricing.
Route tracking is only available after you have installed a “plugin”.
In NZ you might have to use a VPN set to another country or map downloads can be painfully slow.iPaddling
Device memory crusher
I wanted to find an alternative to Google maps. Loaded this app. App required I download maps. I initially only downloaded my state; but I travel all of North America regularly, so I downloaded North America. I noticed while learning the app that my device memory was dramatically decreasing as it worked in the background. Immediately deleted the app. My device memory is still significantly reduced & I can’t find where it stored the files to delete them & free up my storage again.Show lessPocketlott

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. OsmAnd is offline maps and navigation application, all core features are work base on offline maps. All OsmAnd data is visible through Files app. If it doesn't help, please contact us at support@osmand.netNot for the USA?
I really loved the idea of having downloaded maps on my phone for motorcycle travel but I have yet to find a single address within the US that this program will find. I type in the exact, specific, legal address and it doesn't even come close. Most of the time it's not even in the same state.
So, when i just click on a destination and try to get routred there, the app simply shuts down, 100% of the time. It has never worked for me. iPhone 15 Pro. Although it's only $10, I hope they issue me a refund as the aap serves no purpose for me now.Show lessKfclivingfree

You can contact us at support@osmand.net.Buttons not working on 14Pro
Trying to use this app and some of the touch elements are non-responsive. For example, the Cancel button doesn’t even work, but I can use different UI elements. So it’s either a buggy build or the all is dodgy. Surely not.spyvpsy

I’m a huge fan of OsmAnd. I’ve been using it for a few months now, mainly for navigation on my motorcycle on green roads and dirts tracks in Europe and North Africa.
I love that it is both extremely configurable to my needs and has an active community who collaborate on making constant improvements. The more I get involved, the greater I can ensure the app meets my needs.
Thank you!Show less@rachel_norfolk
Complicated licensing
Why do almost all sat Nav apps have such complex licensing? I have no idea which bits to buy, what the cost will be, so I won’t bother.wfdTamar
