Overview​

NOTE

The Vehicle Metrics plugin is a paid feature of the OsmAnd app.

The Vehicle Metrics plugin enables you to read, record, and display real-time vehicle data on the screen using the OBD-II protocol. This plugin provides insights into various engine metrics, fuel efficiency, speed, and other critical performance indicators, helping users monitor their vehicle’s health directly from their device.

This feature is currently not available for the iOS version of the OsmAnd app.

To start using data from external sensors, follow these steps:

  1. Enable the Vehicle Metrics plugin in the Plugins section of the main menu.
  2. Connect the OBD-II scanner to your vehicle's OBD-II port.
  3. If desired, add Vehicle Metrics widgets to your screen for easy access to data.
  4. Data from Vehicle Metrics can be recorded as part of a track using the Trip recording plugin.
