Description:
The OsmAnd map and navigation app project recently celebrated its 15th anniversary . All these 15 years can be roughly divided into three stages. For
the first five years, we built the very basic functionalityoffline
maps and navigation that just worked. Over the next five years, we
transformed OsmAnd into a full-fledged application with plugins,
extensive settings, and professional tools. We dedicated the third
five-year period to deep internal work: completely rewriting and
improving key components like the rendering engine and routing
algorithms. Now, a new, fourth stage begins. We have reached functional
maturity, and our main goal for the near future is to polish what
we've already built. We will focus on stability, speed, and
consolidation. User expectations are growing, and what was once
considered normal must now be flawless. (Thanks to Paul Wise).
