# Maps
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can make offline maps available from your Butter Box. These maps are powered by **OpenStreetMap (OSM)** and the **OsmAnd app** for Android.
|
|||
|
|
|

|
**Important:** Offline map downloads work **only on Android devices**. iOS is not supported.

### ✅ Steps to Enable Maps

|
|
|
|||
|

**1. Download the map files you need**
|
|||
|

* Visit: [OsmAnd Local Indexes List](https://osmand.net/list?sortby=size\&asc=false)
|
|||
|
|
* Choose and download the regions you want available offline.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2. Organize your files**
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
