Thread: OSMAND - Offline maps keep disappearing, need to downloaded them again.

@Bob Kat,

I use this app for sometime now.

Never had any maps removed.

In fact it always tells me when there are updates.
They come each month.

As for GPX files.

When I am planing a trip and have made some GPX files I test them on OSMAND to see how they look and if I need to make any changes to them.

As I have been using Garmin for a very long time I use MapSource program on my laptop to make and edit any routes I have made.
Then transfer them to OSMAND+ to test.

But never have lost any maps or GPX files over the years I have been using this app.

It is also great for setting up a hiking trip where you have a group of people and with a Tablet and a larger screen you can show others the hiking trips you have planned for them.

Not good for hiking the battery runs down to quick.

For the hikes I use a Garmin GPSMAP 66S got from 16hr.

The map install works great on the internal memory.

Can be a bit dodgy when you want them on a SD card.

You have to set the path correctly or the app can not find the maps.

It has happen to me a couple of times moving the folder over to the SD card.
Then going into the app and telling it where to find the maps.
Only to find I made a mistake in the location and it wants to download the maps again.

One thing I do is rename the OSMAND fold on the memory card before I copy the files to the SD card.
That way I have a backup if I map the location wrong.

If you want screen shots I will post them......
