You need both software and data. A smartphone alone is not enough. You can see OSM as the data, but you need a third party for the software to use that data. As far as I know, no smartphone comes with preinstalled software that can use OSM data Take a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobile , it contains a long list of programs for different types of smartphones. Some programs are free, for other you have to pay. answered 22 May '14, 06:01 escada |
This depends on your smartphone, namely its operating system (OS). I'm using Androids and don't have very much experience with other current mobile OSs. My two top recommendations for using maps on Android are:
There are a number of other good options for more specific uses. But this will get you started well. As for more if you have more specific needs of if there is something about these that doesn't fit you. answered 23 May '14, 18:37 jaakkoh |
What sort of phone is it?
Arkafalcon9, as SomeoneElse noted you need to tell a little bit more about your smart phone. At least the operating system. Is it Android, Apple iOS (iPhone or iPad), a Windows mobile, Blackberry, or something else? The thing is to "install the map" you need to install an application, which are tailored for each operating system. Without that information we can't help you but much.
