finally!... I bought a 60 euro, 4 inch android smartphone without a data plan on it, and I already tried to download a OSM export to just browse it on my computer, without any luck. I thought I could export tiles and browse them as a html file on my phone, but I did not manage to do it.
On google map on the nexus 7 I managed to select a portion of an area and download it, but I could do it again on my huawei Y330. I could not make it work offline.

- jokoon 12y agoeven for a single city ?
- lucb1e 12y agoThey offer regions as default downloads, but it's all open source and open data, so if you want you can export a single city and use it in the app. It is quite a bit more work than just downloading regions (or small-ish countries like the Netherlands) though. See OsmAndMapCreator if you want to do this for the OsmAnd app.
- maxerickson 12y agoThere's a whole ecosystem of tools for dropping tiles on a device. This is a tool for creating them, but it has a handy list of devices where you can use them: http://mobac.sourceforge.net/ http://mobac.sourceforge.net/ There are also quite some Android apps that give you offline vector maps.
