Hi! Also a long time user of OSMand+ I'm going to have a look, but I have some questions for the community

  1. Does this app work as well for all parts of the world? I'm in Europe
  2. I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?

From Europe: Works perfectly for me (and why wouldn't it, it's just OSM)

Yes, it covers all the regions and Europe's has the most detailed maps in openstreetmap especially Germany.

I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?

No, as it uses the same openstreetmaps database to power the app. So you can continue to donate.

Thanks for all the answers. Final question, just out of curiosity: Why are two apps developed? Why not simply make the osm app better?;

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Osm does not have an app as it is a database that third party apps use.

[–] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who developed the OSMand+ app then?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Oh I thought you were talking the osm database.
