Question android app with offline maps?

Hi.

I'm looking for Android app, that can work with offline OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap (vector or raster) and possible with Google maps, allow to import KML file and display it on the map.
No routing, track recording or navigation aid is necessary. just current GPS location

Do you know any app like that?

thanx

I believe Google Maps will allow you to download the area you need for use when you don't have a data connection.

Not sure about KML file stuff tho. I'm guessing if you're into it that much, you already know about offline use for Google Maps.

I use an app called EMFB for use on the motorcycle ... nice large buttons

ugly part with the Google Maps is that it shows KML files from your account only, so it needs to be online, it does not allow to import it from phone memory. You can only offline cache map, not route. silly limitation for otherwise brilliant program

Check out Osmand to see if it works for you.

I use MapDroyd, just have two states downloaded. I'm not sure if it has any of the specific functionality you desire but may be worth a look.
