15 Years of OsmAnd

· 4 minutes de lecture

Hi everyone,

Today is a special day — OsmAnd is turning 15. An incredible number! It feels like we were just writing posts about our 5th anniversary and 10th anniversary, and now, it's already been fifteen years. Time flies when you're passionate about what you do.

Looking back, I realize that the magic of OsmAnd isn't just about code or maps. Above all, it's about people. And today, I want to give a huge, sincere thank you to the three main communities without whom none of this would be possible.

OsmAnd's Faster Offline Navigation

· 13 minutes de lecture

Offline navigation is a lifeline for travelers, adventurers, and everyday commuters. We demand speed, accuracy, and the flexibility to tailor routes to our specific needs. For years, OsmAnd has championed powerful, feature-rich offline maps that fit in your pocket. But as maps grew more detailed and user demands for complex routing increased, our trusty A* algorithm, despite its flexibility, started hitting a performance wall. How could we deliver a 100x speed boost without bloating map sizes or sacrificing the deep customization our users love?

OsmAnd is about to turn 15, and as we approach this milestone, we’d like to share the results of our journey so far.
First and foremost, we want to thank our users — your feedback has been incredibly valuable and continues to shape our development.
From the beginning, OsmAnd has been powered by the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project — a global, collaborative initiative to create a free and editable map of the world. Thanks to this incredible community, OsmAnd is more than just a navigation app — it's a powerful tool for offline maps, route planning, outdoor exploration, and global travel, built entirely on open data.
