Configure plugins

Overview

Plugins significantly extend the functionality of OsmAnd. Each is designed to address a specific task or use case, such as recording a trip, accessing Wikipedia articles offline, visualizing terrain data, or providing a street-level view.

Plugins can be internal, activated in the OsmAnd application, or external, separately installed programs. Third-party plugins work through the OsmAnd API and can access OsmAnd data.

Configure a plugin

In order to access a plugin's functionality, it must first be enabled, and some plugins require a purchase before use. Then, in some cases, a specific map layer must be activated, or a user profile must be configured.
