# 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 —
