About this app

Vespucci is an advanced open source tool for editing OpenStreetMap data, it is not a map viewer or a navigation app. You will need an OpenStreetMap account to use it .

You can download the map data for a specific area and edit the map. After editing, you can upload it directly to the OSM servers.

Any accidental change can be undone and all changes are listed for review before upload. Tag-autocompletion, JOSM compatible presets, links to the translated map-features pages and even auto-completing nearby street names help to find the right tags to use.

We recommend disabling auto-updates for Vespucci so that you can upload your edits before app updates.

More information and documentation can be found on vespucci.io and in the on-device help.

Please do not report problems here or ask for support, see why we can't provide support and accept issues on the play store review section. You can report issues directly from the app without a github account or go directly to the issue tracker.

If you want to seriously edit OpenStreetMap while you're out and about, Vespucci is the way to go. You can add, remove, and modify just about any paths or structures on the map, trace paths using your phone’s GPS and either add them through the app or upload them to use another tool. It uses a lock/unlock system so you don’t make changes accidentally, and you can place geolocated photos on the map to help you position features. That said, there is a steep learning curve when you start out!

This app is absolutely great for editing OSM on the go. I like to do mapping work after hikes or trips in the mountains and this is absolutely the way to go. Something that needs fixing is the handling of file import (e.g. for GPX files from OsmAnd). The app does not ask for Storage permission and there is no way to delegate the file picking to a file manager app (which is usually what I do with other apps since the android built-in file picker is useless).

Thanks! We do ask for storage permissions on devices on which it exists, it doesn't on Android 14. We could ask for the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 14, see https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/manage-all-files however that would seem to be overkill and means additional scrutiny by google pre-release.

Very difficult to use. But, until now, it's the best osm editor available on mobile, so I'll continue using it.

What's new

This release provides a potential workaround for issues on pre-Android 8 devices with sites that use letsencrypt certificates.

Note that on devices affected by the issue the workaround will lead to substantially more memory usage.

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 20.0 you really need to upload or save any changes before updating.
