Download Speed Camera & Danger Zone Files for OsmAnd: Lufop GPX & OSM

Lufop Speed Camera and Danger Zone Database for OsmAnd

Do you use OsmAnd for your car trips, motorcycle rides, or international travels? You can now enhance the information available in the app with a speed camera and danger zone database from the Lufop community.

OsmAnd is a mapping and navigation application primarily based on free data from OpenStreetMap. It is particularly valued for its offline functionality, extensive settings, and ability to import files in GPX or OSM format.

The database offered on this page allows you to add various useful driving points to your OsmAnd map:

• fixed speed cameras and permanent control devices;
• red light cameras;
• average speed check zones;
• mobile speed cameras and known temporary control zones;
• railway crossings and other areas requiring special vigilance;
• speed information and descriptions, when available in the Lufop database.

The files are generated from the Lufop community database, regularly corrected and enriched thanks to user reports.

Important: Points imported from a GPX file are displayed in OsmAnd as personal points or points associated with a GPX or OSM file. Their functionality is therefore different from speed camera alerts directly integrated into OsmAnd maps. Depending on your configuration and navigation mode, they can be displayed on the map and announced as points along your route.

Europe and Multi-Country Database – One OSM File Per Country

This archive contains the various Lufop databases organized by country. Each country has its own GPX file, allowing you to import only the geographical areas you need.

This version is recommended if you:

• travel regularly in Europe or internationally;
• wish to limit the number of points displayed simultaneously in OsmAnd;
• prefer to activate or deactivate each country separately;
• want to organize your files and trips more easily.

How to Install the Lufop Database in OsmAnd?

Direct Installation from an Android Smartphone

Depending on the Android version, menu titles may vary slightly.

1. Download and decompress the Lufop archive on your smartphone.
2. Open OsmAnd.
3. Go to the Main Menu.
4. Open My Places, then the Tracks tab.
5. Tap the import button or the three-dot menu.
6. Select Import.

Displaying Lufop Points on the OsmAnd Map

After import, the GPX file can be found in the section dedicated to tracks and personal files.

To display the points:

1. Open Menu > My Places > Tracks.
2. Select the Lufop file corresponding to the desired country or category.
3. Activate the Show on map option.
4. Return to the main map.
5. Zoom in on the desired area to verify the presence of the imported points.

You can modify the appearance of certain files or points from the GPX file settings: color, icon, visibility, or classification folder. The exact possibilities may differ between Android, iOS, and different versions of OsmAnd.

Avoid Overloading the Map

A complete database can contain a large number of points. To keep the map legible and limit the load on less powerful smartphones, we recommend:

• importing only the necessary countries;
• prioritizing files separated by country;
• hiding unused files;
• avoiding displaying all European databases simultaneously;
• deleting old versions before each new import.

How to Get Announcements When Approaching Points?

OsmAnd can announce certain points along a route when navigation is active and the corresponding voice guidance options are configured.

To check your configuration:

1. Open the navigation profile used, for example Driving.
2. Go to Navigation settings.
3. Open the section dedicated to voice instructions or announcements.
4. Verify that voice guidance is enabled.
5. Activate, when offered, announcements related to points of interest or points along the route.
6. Start navigation with a destination so that announcements can be triggered.

Warning: Importing a Lufop GPX file does not automatically replace OsmAnd’s internal speed camera database. The display and announcement of GPX points depend on the active profile, file type, initiated navigation, and application version.

To also benefit from OsmAnd’s integrated alerts:

1. open the navigation profile settings;
2. go to navigation settings;
3. open the settings for on-screen alerts or voice instructions;
4. activate the option related to speed cameras, when available in your country and application version.

OsmAnd’s integrated alerts and points imported from Lufop are two distinct sources. Duplicates may therefore appear when the same location is already present in OpenStreetMap.

Updating the Lufop Database in OsmAnd

GPX files manually imported into OsmAnd are not necessarily updated automatically.

When a new version is published on Lufop:

1. open Menu > My Places > Tracks;
2. locate the old Lufop database;
3. hide or delete it to avoid duplicates;
4. download the new version from this page;
5. import the new GPX file;
6. activate its display on the map.

We advise you to regularly check the date indicated in the file name or its description to ensure you are using the most recent version.
