I have both of these, but from F-Droid but bear in mind Simple Tools was
sold, so the apps on F-Droid may or may not be updated anymore.

Just for the record, Carlos and I have had this discussion before, and I
openly admit that Carlos is insistent that the OSMAnd+ on the Google Play
Store is materially different from the OSMAnd~ source on F-Droid.

I disagree.

So just for the record, I see what Carlos wrote above, and I understand
that Carlos feels the apps are materially different, but I do not.

As far as I'm aware, Carlos hasn't used the free version and I haven't used
the payware version - so we're both going only on what we find in print.

If someone *else* can prove either way, that would be a useful discussion,
but not Carlos, nor me, as we've more than once reached an impasse on it.
