For some reason, I'm only just starting to look at OsmAnd. Really liking what I see! But about these topo lines... Seems like it's no longer free? Gotta buy
that plug-in?
I had no idea they were charging for the extras, because I subscribe to "OsmAnd Live": for $7.49/year, you get access to all the "Plus" features, including the contours/hillshading. (In my case, I end up recouping the cost because they distribute half of the proceeds to active OpenStreetMap contributors like me.)
The most important extra feature to me is hourly (instead of monthly) updates to the underlying OSM data. Most of the time, when I have a hike planned, I edit the OSM data in that neighborhood to make sure it's correct... and then afterwards I edit it again, based on any notes I took when I was out.
If you're hell-bent on not paying, you can load in a custom layer with online tile-based hillshading, and/or USFS/USGS maps that have contour lines.
