Contour lines plugin — OsmAnd is a plugin for 'Maps & Navigation — OsmAnd' app. The plugin provides extremely detailed offline topo maps that can be zoomed in and out without losing the quality. These topographic maps can also be complemented with a layer of 3D terrain representation ('hillshade'). Contour lines plugin — OsmAnd is a useful reference tool for hikers, tourists, cyclists, and any topography enthusiast.
To download the contour lines and hillshade maps, please go to OsmAnd > Download maps > choose the country you need > Contour Lines/Hillshade.
You can enable this layer of information by activating the plugin in OsmAnd > 'Plugins' and also enabling OsmAnd > Configure map > Contour Lines/Hillshade layer.
The global data (between 70 degrees north and 70 degrees south) is based on measurements by SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) and ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer), an imaging instrument onboard Terra, the flagship satellite of NASA's Earth Observing System. ASTER is a cooperative effort between NASA, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and Japan Space Systems (J-spacesystems).

Does not work for me. Bought OsmAnd+, downloaded my standard home country map and then bought contour plugin. When i try to enable in map settings it says "you need contour plugin". Tried refund, rebooted my phone for clean install, but the same again... Later Addition: Rebootet 3 times again, now its giving me option to download contour maps. Therefore i give it 3 stars instead of 1. At least it seems to work now.

There are bugs with purchases of this app applying and permitting the download of maps. Developers close all tickets relating to it and tell people to contact support. Support have no answers. Developers: Unprofessional, lacklustre effort, no questions, no engagement, no debugging. Only effort is that expended on preemptively closing tickets.

I strongly support OSM Android, but I wish they made it clear when contour lines (a feature of the main app) became a paid plugin. I already subscribe for the pro version of OSMAndroid. It's important to fund development and support. But I'd like to be more aware of how costs are changing.
