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.

Unfortunately if you require fully offline usage, that option doesn't seem to be available via OSMand directly.

OsmAnd does support this. You need to activate the overlay/underlay you want to download, press&hold anywhere on the map, then in the menu do Actions > Download Map.

That's fantastic to know. I was completely unaware.

Thanks for this.

Do you know what happened to RMaps?

The previous page for it on fdroid 404s.

Afraid I have no idea on that one. A quick search led me in circles, so that doesn't bode well.

Thanks for checking.
