Quick answer
Examine OpenStreetMap (OSM) elements to "focus" your view of the map
F-Droid repository metadata
OSMfocus Reborn is an open source tool for examining OpenStreetMap (OSM) elements by moving around on a map. Also known as OSM Focus Reborn or OpenStreetMap Focus Reborn.
Move the crosshair in the middle of the map over a building or road to view its keys and values. A line will be drawn connecting the element with a box on the side of the screen. This box contains every tag of the element in OpenStreetMap. Use this information to find bugs or to investigate an area closer. Click on one of the boxes if you want even more detailed information.
Change the basemap (background layer) or add your own by going to the settings screen (cog icon).

- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
