OsmAnd Navigation & Offline Maps

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions) is a globally recognized mobile application for navigation and offline maps. It was originally developed as an open-source project by Victor Shcherb and his development team to provide users with privacy-focused, highly customizable mapping solutions. The application relies primarily on data from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project, allowing users to navigate without a consistent internet connection.

While the brand originated in the Netherlands, its development is handled by a distributed team of engineers often headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The software is 'manufactured' in a digital sense across various locations where its global developer community and the core team reside. OsmAnd remains an independent entity under the leadership of its original founders, maintaining a commitment to open-source principles and user-driven feature sets.
