What is MapDroyd?
MapDroyd is a free, open-source map viewing and editing app for Android. It allows users to download map data for offline use and view, create, and edit maps when internet connectivity is limited.
Key features of MapDroyd include:
- Ability to download OpenStreetMap data for offline map viewing
- Support for standard mapping features like markers, lines, shapes, and polygons
- GPX track import and export
- Basic map editing tools to create and update data in downloaded maps
- Different map themes and overlays

MapDroyd is ideal for activities like hiking, traveling, and field work where internet access is unreliable. By downloading maps ahead of time, users can view and modify maps as needed without connectivity. Advanced features like tracking, mapping, and field data collection are available through plugins.
While the interface is fairly basic, MapDroyd offers powerful offline mapping capabilities compared to other Android apps. With an active development community behind it, the software is continuously being updated and improved as well.
