Availability of servers used by the API osmdroid

Here I see the information that the API uses dedicated servers:

Several libraries make it easy for Android developers to incorporate OpenStreetMap in Their own applications, Whether as a static map image, a fully interactive map, or more sophisticated uses like geocoding and routing. Another benefit of using These libraries is que They respect OpenStreetMap's tile usage policy by fetching tiles and other resources from dedicated servers instead of OpenStreetMap's donated servers.

(And then the API osmdroid appears in the list)

That's right? Does anyone know the availability of the servers used by the API osmdroid?

Solution

  • This will depend on the tile provider you choose. According to TileSourceFactory.java there are various provider available, including the official OSM server which have a very strict tile usage policy.

    Of course you can use any alternative tile provider you want, including your own one.
