Frequently asked questions about OsmAnd

What is OsmAnd and what is it used for? +

OsmAnd is an open-source offline navigation app from Dutch company OsmAnd BV in Amsterdam, based on OpenStreetMap data. The app offers worldwide offline navigation for car, bicycle, hiking, and public transport with voice navigation, lane guidance, and automatic recalculation. OsmAnd is available for iOS, Android, Huawei AppGallery, and as a desktop variant.

Does OsmAnd run on European infrastructure? +

OsmAnd BV is a Dutch company subject to GDPR. The app is designed for offline use: maps are stored locally on the device, and no location data is transmitted to servers. OpenStreetMap data is free and licensed under the Open Database License. The app contains no tracker, no advertising, and no profiling. The specific hosting provider for the map download server is not publicly disclosed.

What distinguishes OsmAnd from Google Maps? +

OsmAnd uses OpenStreetMap data and can be used completely offline without an internet connection. There is no data tracking or profiling whatsoever. The maps often contain more detail for outdoor activities (hiking trails, mountain paths, water sources) than Google Maps. Google Maps, in turn, offers business reviews, Street View, and real-time traffic data in higher quality.
