Welcome

Osmin is an offline On-Road/Off-Road GPS navigator for Android and Unix devices.

Strongly inspired by "Osmscout" by Karry, it uses a fork of "libosmscout" as backend. It includes features such as generic compass, tracker, GPX reader/writer, road router, POI database.

The core application was designed by janbar. The main features (Map and Routing) are implemented by libosmscout, mainly designed by Framstag and Karry. This wiki is started by magdesign and can be improved with your help.
