OsmAnd Android
Download and install OsmAnd from Play Store.
During the installation, you may be prompted to download the map of the region where you are located. It is recommended to do the installation using WiFi as the map size could be a few hundred megabytes and it might take a while for the installation to be completed [show image]

Location of GPX
For most Android versions the OsmAnd GPX files are located in the same folder and path: /storage/Android/data/net.osmand/files/tracks/rec
However on some Android 11 phones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Note 10), the directory and files are not visible. The work around is by changing the file location to “Multiuser Storage 1” which is in /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/net.osmand in the OsmAnd settings.
