Hi all,

I used to download the OBF map files from http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/ so I could easily put them on all my Android devices without the need to re-download, but it looks like the files listed there are older than the files listed in the app's download interface. Is there some other URL where I can get the latest version of the OBF files? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
IByteNL

Could it be that those actually are the latest files but the dates on the page are incorrect (for e.g. the world basemap)?

There seems to be some issue with the server file timestamps.

E.g. I tried to download for testing purpose Albania country file.
While Albania zip file on server has timestamp Nov 2,
the OBF file inside has timestamp Dec 1.

Did you know that you can download map extracts in many different formats from http://extract.bbbike.org/ ?

Among these formats we hafe *.obf for Osmand's offline maps. You will get an email with download link.

But I have not tried that on my own. Any reports about success or failure?
