OsmAnd, howto install and configure

Download the flyer with the quick installation instructions.

4 steps:

1. First, download and install the OsmAnd app. (there are a few sources for download here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand and here http://blog.osmand.net/en/installation-menu.html , this including for Blackberry devices).
2. Install the basemaps, you need at least the world and a country basemap. Download your choice of maps and unpack/move them to the sdcard (from the OsmAnd downloads site http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/ ).
3. Install the Historic maps, download your choice of zipped maps from this site https://www.geotiek.nl/ and unpack them to your sdcard.
4. Configure the app for use with your sdcard and selection of maps.
   
   
   
   • Settings -> General Settings -> Storage Directory = fill in the location of your SDcard. This tends to be tricky as:
     SD-card naming varies across Android versions and brands and adding to the confusion
     internal memory on some devices is also called SD-card.
     My advice look for the exact path with a proper file manager.
     If properly set up, your device will now work with the basemaps installed on the SD-card.
     
   • Now activate the plugin to enable the historic overlay maps:
     Settings -> Plugins -> Activate Plugin: Online Maps.
   • Select a Historic map as a overlay map.
     Settings -> Online Maps -> Overlay Map: now you should see your installed Historic maps

Your SD-card will look like this:
