What is an OSF file?

An OSF file is a Zip-compressed package for distributing backups, maps, and plugins for OsmAnd, a GPS navigation application for Android and iOS devices. For example, OsmAnd users often share plugins, which consist of .JSON files and folders with other resource files, as OSF files that other users can import into the app to extend its functionality.

More Information

OsmAnd is an open-source app based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) that allows you to navigate and plan routes offline. It includes various features, including map-viewing, GPS navigation, and route planning and recording tools.

NOTE: You can create OSF files by compressing your plugin, backup, or map as a .ZIP file, then renaming the file extension from .zip to .osf.

How to open an OSF file

You can import OSF files with OsmAnd on an Android or iOS device.

  • Android version - Select Menu → Settings → Import/export → Import
  • In the iOS version - Select Menu → Settings → Local backup → Import

Since OSF files are renamed ZIP files, you can decompress the archive to view the contents of the OSF file. For example, rename the .osf file extension to .zip, then decompress the archive with a Zip utility. You can then extract the files and folders in the archive.
