Cross-Platform Purchases
Maps+ and OsmAnd Pro purchases can now be used across different platforms, including Android, iOS, and the OsmAnd website. This means you can buy a subscription on one platform and use it on another without any additional cost.
Now, you can buy OsmAnd products on the OsmAnd website and use them on your Android or iOS devices, and vice versa. This feature is available for all OsmAnd products, including Maps+ and OsmAnd Pro.
Temperature Units
