Satellite maps on fdroid? (lemmy.world)

RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC)

What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid?

How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view?

Edit: Extra info is, I'm looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel.

With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.

Why not just enable Microsoft Hybrid as an overlay map in OSMand?

Hi, I added extra info.

Do you know if it is possible to pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?

Also, is the MS Hybrid mapset installed from, Plugins --> AnyGIS online maps collection ?

Unfortunately if you require fully offline usage, that option doesn't seem to be available via OSMand directly.

OsmAnd does support this. You need to activate the overlay/underlay you want to download, press&hold anywhere on the map, then in the menu do Actions > Download Map.

That's fantastic to know. I was completely unaware.

Thanks for this.

Do you know what happened to RMaps?

The previous page for it on fdroid 404s.

Afraid I have no idea on that one. A quick search led me in circles, so that doesn't bode well.

Thanks for checking.
