I’ve installed and been fiddling around with OsmAnd~ for a few days now. And I have to say it is dense. It has way too many details and it feels overwhelming.

For all its faults, Google Maps works really well when it comes to showing information. More and more details are shown as you zoom in.

That’s not the case with OsmAnd.

So much detail is on the screen when I’m looking to just get an idea of the region and I don’t even know where to start.

How can I make it look like Google Maps? Maybe I’ll be able to use that as a starting point and configure it further as needed?

Thanks.

    But only for a small region.

    OSM, etc let you download the entire world if the maps exist.

    I just copy them from phone to phone if I don’t even need to update them.

    GMaps and the true offline mapping are just different things, and that’s OK.

    Funny the downvoter.

    Show me how GMaps does true downloading - it doesn’t. It does the areas you choose, which is great. But it’s not like CoMaps, Organic, CoPilot, Magic Earth, etc.
