# Maps
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can make offline maps available from your Butter Box. These maps are
|
|||
|
|
powered by **OpenStreetMap (OSM)** and the **OsmAnd app** for Android.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
:::warning
|
|||
|
|
**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**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* On your USB drive, create a folder named `osm-map-files` .
|
|||
|
|
* Put the **OsmAnd APK** and all your **map files** into this folder.

|
**3. Add to your Butter Box**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Insert the USB drive into your Butter Box.
|
|||
|
|
* The **Offline Maps** tile will automatically appear in your Butter Box
|
|||
|
|
portal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
👉 That’s it — anyone using an **Android device** can now download OsmAnd and
|
|||
|
|
the offline maps you’ve provided directly from your Butter Box.

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
