Re: [Talk-in] Regionwise offline maps in OsmAnd

[Onkar Shinde]

I noticed this too few days ago when I was planning to update India
map. So I deleted India map and only downloaded
Maharashtra map.

Can you confirm how did you enable the Hindi/Marathi names in the map
data? Is that built in now or is it a custom built map?

Cheers,
Onkar

[Talk-in] Regionwise offline maps in OsmAnd

[Yogesh योगि]

Hey everyone,

Good news for OsmAnd users! Regionwise offline maps of India are now 
available for download directly from the app. May be they were available 
after the latest UI update but I gotta see it now when I tried to update 
my offline map data. The regions are split as per the admin boundaries 
of State(29) and UT regions(7)[1], so instead of downloading the whole 
India(<200MB), users can get only the smaller size State's map which 
they need. Currently, although India map data is not as big as countries 
like Germany/France, this can still help users here considering the 
mobile data connectivity and the growing OSM mappers in India which may 
result in increased map data too.


Also the Hindi rendering in OsmAnd looks great![2]. :) And going by the 
size of maps, including Maharastra, other south Indian states constitute 
more than 50% of Indian OSM data. Few UTs and most North-eastern states 
are less than one MB, may be because of their smaller area coverage and 
less mapping.


I guess there are quite a few users of OsmAnd[3] here. For those who 
haven't heard of it yet, its a open-source map viewing and navigation 
application for offline(vector) and online(raster/tile) OSM maps. Its 
mainly used with offline vector maps(that have several advantages over 
raster/tile maps) and one of the very few open-source OSM apps which 
supports vector maps. OsmAnd is currently available for Android and iOS 
on Playstore[4]/F-droid[5] and on Appstore[6]. Get it now and see your 
contributed OpenStreetMap data in action! I've been using it for past 
one year and had submitted couple of pull requests few months back to 
include India regions in the app.
