All the information is in our documentation, but in this article, we will describe how and what you can see and get on the screen with a new data type.

Hello everybody!

Raster maps come from various sources and they complement OpenStreetMap data, and sometimes they are the only source. By combining map layers, you can get the best picture on your screen:

2023 New Year resolutions

· 7 min read

Happy New Year!

We have a good tradition every end of the year to write down New Year Resolutions for the next year and sum up the results of the past year (Resolutions 2022). It's already our 6th Resolutions.

2022 was very difficult for our team though we stayed strong and #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦. Nevertheless, there is quite a lot to be proud of 2022 achievements.

In 2022 we launched the new OsmAnd website with new documentation and map. We also introduced the Pro cross-platform subscription for iOS, Android, Web and finally released OpenGL Rendering for Android with 3D terrain.
