OsmAnd recent experience?

Hei, has anyone recent experience with OsmAnd mapApp, I just bought Fairphone 6 with e/OS, and would really like to keep OsmAnd. All topics about OsmAnd are several years old.

Hi @MaDalton,

I bought OSMAnd+ a long time ago (2017) in the Android Play Store when it cost 3,59 €. Today 69,99 :scream:
I was able to install it on my FP6 on e/OS and get back the license.
It works fine.

thanks, I hope “getting back the licence” is easy, cause I don’t know how. But if I get into trouble, I will ask yoh here again.

a new Maps App is awaited with /e/ v4.0

If you have paid before, you have done your part.
Just install OsmAnd~ now, it’s the same unrestricted OsmAnd+ the OsmAnd developers release via F-Droid for free without needing a license.

(Should be available in App Lounge, too, as App Lounge includes the F-Droid catalog.)

Thanks, I am a mountaineer, so I need maps with nature, mountaintrails etc not cities or urban areas, does Murena map have that?

wow, I am new, and I am over 60…so I have no idea what most of the words mean, but I will try to figure it out. Thanks

App Lounge is where you can install Apps in /e/OS by default, just search for OsmAnd~ there (the tilde is important).

yes, I know that much :wink:, thanks, and I will try your link!

How do you know it ships with 4.0?:slight_smile:

In OsmAnd settings, tap “Configure Map” and choose the route overlays you need: cycling, hiking, skiing, horse riding, whitewater sports, dirt biking, climbing, fitness, running.

(Remember that all this is crowdsourced - to which you yourself can contribute - so areas may be missing or incomplete.)

I use it regularly for navigation when traveling, either by car or on foot. It works well for me, with voice prompts, too.

I don’t have a need to see every business or building along the way, though, as users of surveillance-capitalism map applications might be used to.

why release a v4.0 if not improved by new features ?
