ok so i’m trying to understand the structure of the whole OSM project. i generally like it but it’s confusing and i’m confused.

i’m specifically looking for satellite image data (landscape as seen from above, no infrastructure data, just real photography). i like satellite images a lot because it provides a much better feel for the landscape than infrastructure data alone. such as: how many trees are there, how much nature is there around, …

does OSM itself do this? (ideally without having to be logged in)

i found OpenMapTiles which seems to also provide satellite data; but i’m not sure what their relation to OSM is. are they a separate project?

      OsmAnd is not OpenStreetMap. Its a third party client to the OpenStreetMap data.

      OsmAnd can have aerial imagery, Configure Map > Map Source ( > Add More ) > Microsoft Hybrid
