- Three lines - bottom left - Maps and Resources, Australia and Oceania, Australia, find your state, download map and contour lines (and hillshade if you like that sort of stuff)
- If you have subscription - go back to Maps and Resources, OSMAND live - turn on live updates, update only on WIFI, update frequency - choose what suits you - Update now, Apply - back to map when finished
- Top left - click on the globe - change map type to Offroad and make sure under map style that contour lines are turned on - back to map
- Go to your favorite walking area and see what it looks like

Phil, one of these days I may want to borrow you for a while to try to get my new phone set up properly and install a suitable GPS app. This little cybercretin is even more technologically challenged than the Muddster.

The damn thing *&^%$#@! me no end. The idea was to have a compact backup camera and GPS for walking, but I can't get it to do anything right. It may be smart, but it's not a form of intelligence I recognise or can cope with.

Yes, you can use them in aeroplane mode.
My process for using OSMAnd is:
1. Before the trip I plot out the route using https://www.alltrails.com (it's easier on a computer than on a phone).
2. On Alltrails I save the route as a GPX, and then upload it to Google Drive.
3. In OSMAnd I import the GPX file from Google Drive (Three lines - bottom left - GPX Files... - Add More...).

I am currently reviewing a cheapie ruggedised "tough" phone and in my review I'm mentioning the Telstra Tough Max 3 as well. I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on how it performs.

Made a cool route for my upcoming trip on alltrails, but my computer doesnt seem to support saving it as a gpx file. Any hints?
Edited to add- dont know how I did it...but I did it!!!!! It looks amazing, have dropped waypoints at my intended stop overs over night and it calculated distances traveled, elevation gain/loss etc. Amazing.
