OsmAnd's Topography plugin offers an Avalanche color scheme for the Slope layer, coloring terrain by steepness to highlight potential avalanche risks. This visualizes slope angles intuitively for safer backcountry navigation.
Happy New Year from OsmAnd!
As we welcome 2026, we reflect on an exciting year behind us — one that marked OsmAnd's 15th anniversary and introduced major innovations to our navigation experience. Among the most significant milestones of 2025 was the launch of our new fast offline routing, designed to make your routes smoother, calculations quicker, and travel even more efficient — no internet connection required.
This breakthrough, together with continuous design improvements and enhanced usability, brought OsmAnd to a new level for millions of users worldwide. Now, as we move into 2026, we're ready to build on that foundation, shaping the future of navigation with even smarter, more connected solutions.

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.
Exciting news!
We’re happy to announce the release of OsmAnd 5.0 for iOS, now available for download. The update introduces a series of new and improved features that enhance your navigation experience, streamline widget configuration, and make discovering more intuitive than ever.
In this version, enjoy enhanced full-screen gallery, smart folder track organization in folders, new appearance settings for track group and favorites.
Update now to explore the latest improvements and enhance your OsmAnd experience. Thank you for using OsmAnd. Safe travels!
