Hi! I'm no expert, but have experimented with this sort of thing. As far as I know: OsmAnd's elevation data comes from the NASA SRTM/ASTER data that is available freely for the whole world except towards the poles. This has a horizontal resolution of 1 arc-second, about 30 metres. The vertical

Re: Custom interval for contourlines

thought I saw was either placebo or improved 10m contours. If anyone knows about OsmAnd's current status and plans, I'd love to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about! On Friday, July 10, 2020 at 2:21:06 AM UTC+1 A Thompson wrote: > Hi! I'm no expert, but have experimented w

Some GPX files for UK Rights of Way

Following my posting in another thread , you can find my simplified GPX files for rights of way in East & West Sussex, Brighton & Hove, and Co. Durham here:

Re: Do you search using the OLC code

Hi! If you open Osmand's search then paste the OLC straight into the "Type to search all" box at the top, then tap the first search result (shown as latitude and longitude) then for me in the UK it works fine, avoiding the trouble you described. This seems to work even thought the OLC from the

Useful Companion Apps for OsmAnd

Over years of taking an interest in free Android mapping apps, I have found a few that directly enhance OsmAnd. Anyone know any others? 1. Map Bookmark / Streetview Player / GPX Viewer is amazing! You
