## What it is
osmdroid is an open-source replacement for Android's MapView class, providing map display with support for numerous online and offline OpenStreetMap tile sources. It includes a modular tile provider system and built-in overlays for plotting icons, tracking location, and drawing shapes.

## Use cases
- display openstreetmap tiles in an android app
- show offline maps on android
- replace google maps with open source map view
- plot markers and draw shapes on a map in android
- track user location on a map
- use custom map tile sources in android

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-source alternative to Google Maps on Android
- you need offline map tile support in an Android app
- you want OpenStreetMap integration with overlays and location tracking

## When to avoid
- you need a library that is actively maintained - the project is archived and receives no updates
- you are starting a new project and want long-term support
- you need iOS or cross-platform maps - this is Android-only
