Nice viewer. I like the fact that it comes without a load of bells and whistles, but for me it lacks one feature: a search option to quickly change the map location. IMHO such option is essential for every map viewer (and the Nominatim service makes it very easy to implement).

Such a lightweight and simple solution! It works out of the box, no setup. Thank you so much! After using this app, I'll never use OSMand anymore. Would be an ideal app with 5 stars, if it were open-sourced and added to F-Droid.

Does the job really well for OSM browsing. If I could change one thing, setQuickScaleEnabled to allow one-finger zooming.

Good app for viewing OSM. I wish it had the option to download maps so you could view the map where there is no internet access, such as in a rural area.

Works really well, when driving the speed appears in km/h and this isn't configurable.

Proper free access to osm. Low on features but great if you want to have detailed maps.
