      No, I used solely on my phone. It worked fine at home and looked promising. When I went out 2 days later it wouldn’t load anything, was on cell only with excellent 5g data. Tried for about an hour and it just wouldn’t load a map.

        But what app did you use to access OSM and download the maps for offline use… was it a web browser? OsmAnd? Vespucci?

        Uh, but…OsmAnd is a phone app. So you’re saying you used the website on your phone’s browser, then? I’m not sure if that has an offline function, though I never used it myself. Does it say it has that function? Otherwise I think you will have to install an app, first.

        Maybe you downloaded the offline map files, but had nothing to open them with. Apps use their own versions of the map files, by the way, those files you download from the website are for other use-cases.

          Osmand+ paid for it and it didn’t work when I left my house. Useless product that doesn’t do it basic functions. And no I’m not going to QA it for them.

            Shame, it’s worked perfectly for me for many years. No idea what went wrong with you, of course, and it doesn’t sound like you’re up for troubleshooting. Oh well, hope you have a better time with Google or Apple stuff!
