    The original post from Aquilegia, post number 46: http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...ll=1#post82362 has a link to his githup repository. open this link and you'll see many files listed. The only file you need is "custom_tile_sources.xml". The reason that is the only one you need is because everything else is only needed to compile the app. But Aquilegia also posted a link to his precompiled app in post number 54 http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...ll=1#post82391.

    So just:
    1. install the app from post number 54
    2. Go into settings to change the data directory (where you save maps) to your SD card and note the exact path used
    3. copy the custom_tile_sources.xml file into this path


    Now when you go to "Settings" >> "Configure Maps" >> "Map Source" >> "Install More" you have some aditional maps you can select to add to your list. The new entries for China are about 1/2 way down, you have to look for them as they are not in alphabetical order.

    And Shuben, I am not sure how your question about google maps relates here. Yes the URL for google maps is maps.google.com (which then redirects to https://www.google.com/maps), butyou need a VPN to use that in China and that is not the source that Aquilegia uses in his custom_tile_sources.xml. He uses http://mt0.google.cn/vt/lyrs=m@283&h...0" rule="gcj09 but that link is useless on its own, it only works within the OsmAnd app. And it works with the offset error corrected and without need for VPN.
