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.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I added some extra info.

Do you know if there is a solution where you can pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?

GMaps WV will show 'No internet - Retry' if you are out of coverage areas, and is unusable offline.

i think it's not possible. It's a very small wrapper with no internal options

a search with obtainium gives this: https://github.com/RobertDeveloper/RMaps.0.9.x
