It would be good to understand how it works before declaring them useless. osmand live provides files that contain differences from published map files. So with a fairly recent map (and it seems to not have to be the most recent one), and the delta updates, you have up to date data. I find that I can add something to OSM, wait an hour or sometimes two, and then get the live update, and have the new things shown in osmand. So from my viewpiont it works as intended. I also don't understand why people are so upset about monthly updates being 10-20 days behind the end of the month. Yes, the next day would be better, but 1) it's so much faster than any non-OSM approach and 2) with osmand live, it matters very little. Even without osmandlive, having map data that's between 20 and 50 days old at any point isn't much worse than having data that's between 5 and 35. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
