maps - How to import a .obf POI file in OsmAnd

Saturday, January 9, 2016

I created this Data.osm file:

Then I converted it to Data.obf using OsmAndMapCreator.

How to have OsmAnd show this POI on the maps?

Answer

1) Copy the .obf file to your OsmAnd folder, for instance /sdcard/osmand.

2) In OsmAnd, enable the "POI > Any" layer.

3) Sometimes it does not work immediately, in such case restart your phone (there might be faster methods but at least restarting works)
