RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC)
What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid?
How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view?
Edit: Extra info is, I’m looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel.
With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.
OsmAnd does support this now. You need to activate the overlay/underlay you want to download, press&hold anywhere on the map, then in the menu do Actions > Download Map.
Great news.
Holding down on the map --> pressing ‘Actions’ --> then ‘Download map’ works very well offline, thank you!
I did not know about the offline satellite download within OSMand, TIL.
What is the most open and still usable satellite tileset? Is it MS Hybrid?
I think it depends a lot on where you are. Where I am, the government (kinda unofficially) provides excellent quality (<10 cm/px in some cities, and <50cm/px for the entire country) orthographically adjusted aerial imaging, that’s a lot better than any commercial solution.
