# Vespucci (open-source maps and navigation app)

> Vespucci is a free, open-source maps and navigation app for Android. Vespucci is the most comprehensive editor for OpenStreetMap on Android. It has 477 GitHub stars and is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and you can install it from F-Droid and Google Play.

Vespucci is an advanced open source tool for editing OpenStreetMap data, it is not a map viewer or a navigation app. You will need an OpenStreetMap account to use it. You can download the map data for a specific area and edit the map. After editing, you can upload it directly to the OSM servers. Any accidental change can be undone and all changes are listed for review before upload. Tag-autocompletion, JOSM compatible presets, links to the translated map-features pages and even auto-completing nearby street names help to find the right tags to use. We recommend disabling auto-updates for Vespucci so that you can upload your edits before app updates.
