# 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.

Note: The OSM map apk is available on the Butter Box software image. Updates to the OsmAnd app will be available with new releases of the Butter Box software. If you want to know what the latest available version of OsmAnd app is, visit [OsmAnd Free Releases — Android](https://osmand.net/docs/versions/free-versions).
