App summary

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.

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).

User reviews
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.

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.

Help, downloaded the contour line map and local area contour map. No relief lines displayed. Enabled plugin in the main app. I'm running Android on a Motorola Action One.
