OSM City Maps for Android Wear allows you to view Open Street Maps (OSM) directly on your Android Wear device. Maps are accessible both in online in offline mode.

In online mode the app downloads data directly from OpenStreetMap server.

For offline mode you can pre-load maps onto your phone and then transfer them to your wearable for standalone execution (even without phone).

Moreover, for each offline map you can add custom pins to mark your personal point of interests. There are 45 pins to choose from, each can be given distinct color and title. Pins will appear on your map on watch.

If you are missing a map, please use in-the-app Map Request form and submit your request. Now you can also import a map yourself; instructions are included in the app.

We are also introducing route planning feature into the app based on the Graphhooper library. While in testing phase the feature is free to use without limitations on the maps that support navigation.

Free version of the app will show a Trial message on the watch screen. This can be removed by buying premium version as in-app purchase.

This app does not directly embed maps (apart form simplified world map). All maps are downloaded by user selection. The app uses maps from OpenStreetMap.org project (Open Data Commons Open Database License) and as rendering engine it uses MapsForge library.

App offers access to almost 1000 offline cities maps, among them:

London,
New York City,
Paris,
Barcelona,
Tokyo,
Bejing,
Berlin,
Frankfurt,
Warsaw,
Lisbon,
Dublin,
Montreal,
Mexico City,
Moscow,
etc...
