It's probably our bug, and we will be happy to fix it in the next update.
On Android, if you store your maps on an SD card, the most likely cause is a faulty SD card. You can:
1. Delete all downloaded maps and re-download them again to the SD card (may not work again).
2. Delete all downloaded maps, select Internal device storage, and re-download maps.
3. Format SD card and re-download maps.
4. Buy a new SD card (recommended)
On Android, if you store your maps on an SD card, the most likely cause is a faulty SD card. You can format your SD card, or better yet replace it with a new one. If you moved the app itself to SD card, please move it back to the internal (device) storage.
If the app still crashes, please check [our GitHub](https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/) for similar issues, and [contact us](mailto:support@organicmaps.app) and provide the following:
If the issue continues, please [contact us](mailto:support@organicmaps.app) and give us:
* short description of the issue
* A detailed description of the issue and steps to reproduce it
* Organic Maps version
* device model and OS version (Android or iOS).

Our map data source is [OpenStreetMap](https://welcome.openstreetmap.org) (OSM). This is a mapping project similar to Wikipedia, but for maps, where anybody can create and edit maps.
Our map data source is [OpenStreetMap](https://welcome.openstreetmap.org) (OSM). This is a mapping project similar to Wikipedia, but for maps, where anybody can create and edit the map of the World.
If you see incorrect information, or if you find that some objects are missing on the map, you can [leave a note](https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/new) for OSM editors or [register](https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new) and edit the map.
The more people contribute, the more detailed maps we get. We believe that the most detailed map of the whole world, created by the open community, is just a matter of time.

**Notes:**
* You can also add new places, edit existing POI and building info (addresses, opening hours, names) directly via Organic Maps. Once you log in with OSM account, your edits will be automatically uploaded to OSM. Please be careful when editing, as your edits will be visible to all other users.

On your device open Settings → Location. It is better to switch on High accuracy mode, as it enables precise GPS location.
If you have difficulty determining your location with GPS, enable (disable, if enabled) “Google Play Services” in the app settings.

The speed of location determining depends on the device, not on the app. The GPS' operation is influenced by the weather as well – it works best outdoors when the sky is clear.

Remember that to search for a place in a specific area, you will need to download a relevant map and zoom in the map to that area, or your location should be near that area before you begin search. For example, if you want to find a place in Vietnam and your location is somewhere else, you should download and open the map of Vietnam first.
