Open street map AND android app

Question

I know that I can write an Android application using an open street api mobile card, but I also want to maintain offline mode on my map. Is there a way to download a map of a city or country and use it locally on an Android phone?

thanks.

Answer 1

Have you viewed the Open Street Maps Wiki for Android page? It seems that there are many open source libraries, some of which may have offline caching.

Answer 2

You can use the following combination (it worked very well for me):

• OsmAndMapCreator: to download maps for offline use OsmAndMapCreator
• Osmand: andrdoid application for navigation and map tracking Osmand google project

After installing the osmand application on your Android device, you can install the directory where you will save offline maps (in addition to osm, you can use various other sources as a Google map, for example, and easily switch between them). A.

The application already has a very complete set of functions and has code that you can expand / learn from it.
