<h3>Adding aerial photo data overlay to OsmAnd on Android, 2024</h3>
<ul>
<li>Go to the <a href="https://anygis.ru/Web/Html/Osmand_en">AnyGis OsmAnd page</a></li>
<li>Follow the link to "Download maps by one file (sqlitedb)" and select the "Bing Birds Eye" map</li>
<li>Follow the instructions on the AnyGis OsmAnd page to copy the file to your phone.</li>
<li>In OsmAnd:
<ul>
<li>Go to PlugIns and enable Online maps</li>
<li>Go to Configure map, enable Overlay map and select "=Satellites=Bing_birds_eye" as the overlay map</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The map should now show a transparency slider which will fade the satellite image in and out. This will only work in online mode until such time as somebody works out how to cache the tiles (to be continued...)</p>
<h3>Recording tracks</h3>
<p>If using OsmAnd, you need to go to Plugins and enable "Trip recording" to be able to record track logs.</p>
<p>If you are looking for how to upload one of your own GPS tracks, go to <a href="/handbook/computing/gpxupload.html">gpxupload</a>.
