I do not say it is not.

But official "OSMAnd free" ( or whatever the exact name it has ) version 
from Google play is not identical to the one on F-Droid.
The former has a limit, the latter does not.

At least, it was like that in past, as I use OSMAnd+ for some time.

I use often external download way even if I do not have to.

P.S.: AFAIK, but I may be wrong,
F-Droid version is not the version released by OSMAnd team,
but recompiled by an other party within the terms
of the OSMAnd open source licence.

Or, I do not understand the OSMAnd licence politics,
if they create 2 free versions, 1 like the paid one.

Yes - compiled by the server of F-Droid - automatically, based on the
official sources.

Well - imagine you put an app on Google Play for free without any limits
and ask for a donation for your work.

How many people do you think will send you money?

Of course you can still use the free version from F-Droid as well.
F-Droid itself is also free.

I was not questioning this.

I have pointed this out just as not making sense
if F-Droid version was version of OSMAnd team.

OSMAnd is open source. *Everybody* can take it and build a binary
version from it. And those willing to donate for it can buy the version
on Google Play.

Thank you for the pointer to the ability to download as above.  I was not 
aware of this and it is useful in that it gives the date of the 
information (map or whatever).

Presumably you unzip on the PC and then copy the unzipped to the phone 
itself?

You are welcome.

Yes, I use a Windows batch that
downloads the zipped maps of the interest
and unzip them to the PC shared folder.

Then I use Android SyncMe utility to copy them via Wifi LAN
behind my Wifi router to the OSMand map folder.

I use it often even for OSMAnd+ for downloads of several maps at once.

Very useful - thank you.  I shall have a play and see what I can do.  I 
usually just hardwire phone to pc and copy big files across that way.  
Smaller ones I bluetooth from one to the other.My pc is now very elderly 
(c12yrs old or even more but it runs Lubuntu well and I found a cheap 
dongle for bluetooth that works well so I'm quite happy :-) )

Be aware that the real final zip URLs are tricky
due address redirection,
in case you want to create shell scripts,
so it may not be directly addressable by the web downloaders.

Noted - thank you.  I'll probably just do a manual download a bit at a 
time as I see fit.

This looks great!  

It says it's for " mp3, pictures and documents"

Does that include loading a contact list file too?  I have them backed
up from the previous phone but haven't put them in the current phone
yet. 

Does it backup texts too?  I don't text but there are constantly people
on the tv court shows saying, It was in a text but I got a new phone. 

Maybe these are all documents but I'm not sure.

They'll be deleted if you don't refresh them when suggested.

As to being too small, that's a personal problem. I save map coverage
for all of Sanibel and Captiva Islands whenever we're down there so I
don't have to worry about losing cell coverage.

No, the purpose is to get the location.

Yes - to see where you are.

In another post I just now said I liked ME maps.  Forgot it was the one
I'd just complained about.   But it's because I like it that it was
worth asking about.

I'm right here.     I'm the one who's waving.      First row. 

Oh well. 

Thanks.   It may happen some day that I don't know where I am, and I'll
turn on the GPS then. 

By coincidence, I just reinstalled my rear view mirror with a compass
and this time I made the compass work.   That should help.
