The maps of India and Malaysia-Indonesia have become much too large over time (significantly >2GB) and will therefore be split into smaller parts:
India will be split into
- India-North-West
- India-North-East
- India-South
Malaysia-Indonesia into
- Malaysia-Indonesia-East
- Malaysia-Indonesia-West
This makes downloading easier and most apps can now load multiple maps automatically, so handling partial maps is no problem at all.
The OSM map data is still as of the beginning of June – this will remain until the plagued OSM admins have found a remedy against the rampant data vandalism.

Dear hiking, cycling and outdoor enthusiasts,
The major summer update of the maps is now online.
What’s new:
The LaserScan elevation data has been further improved and extended by @Sonny. We recommend downloading the complete Europe maps again to avoid ghost lines in overlapping areas with the old elevation data.
The ebike charging stations are now better organised into POIs – the corresponding rules can be found here
Basically, there are 3 types of ebike charging stations, whereby only those that (also) provide Schuko sockets are included:
- Completely cost-free, public ones that do not require any consumption (restaurant, hotel, etc…)
- Free ones, but which are only or primarily accessible to customers (restaurant, coffee, hotel, etc.)
- Fee-based, but where no prior registration/customer card is required.
One note on ORUXMaps: The latest version of ORUX is required for the correct display of maps and POIs.
If you don’t like the new ORUX user interface, you can switch back to the old interface in the settings.
We wish you all a wonderful summer and lots of great tours
Tobias, Michael and Christian
I installed a new, very professional firewall with spam protection – its not free, but there’s no alternative.
A nice bonus is that the system is also GDPR-compliant – whatever you may think of that.
I hope that
a.) Life will become easier for us admins
and above all it
b.) there are no more annoying blockades of legitimate users, a situation that is/was very unpleasant for everyone.
The update plan for the maps this summer will be published separately.
So long,
Your OpenAndroMaps team
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
A new map set will be available at the turn of the year with the following changes:
The data structure for the Mapsforge POIs, as used by ORUX-Maps, has been made more efficient and this new programme library has been implemented in the new versions of ORUX.
This means that we at OpenAndroMaps can also create and deliver the new POIs – i.e. the new version will be included in the Map-zips and delivered during automatic installation from Christmas on.
The requirement is that updates from Orux are installed – this applies to both the free version and the GooglePlay version.
For users of older versions of ORUX who for some reason cannot be updated (old smartphone, etc.) we will continue to keep the old version of the ORUX pois available for download here
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openandromaps/pois/ORUX_old/
Please do not link permanently yet, the names of the zip files will still change.
You can download the new POIS for testing here:
https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openstreetmap/openandromaps/pois/ORUX_V3/
So: Please update your ORUX installations to take advantage of the new POI files.
Best regards
Christian and the OAM team
