Seit Jahren navigiere ich hochzufrieden mit @osmandapp, in @GrapheneOS und das wird auch so bleiben.

Aber manchmal wären Stauwarnungen wie bei Google Maps doch hilfreich bzw. würden den Tag retten.

Da es keine offenen Verkehrsdaten gibt (?) suchte ich für solche Fälle eine Alternative. Vorläufig bin ich bei #herewego gelandet.

Alles ist besser als Ex-"don't be evil"-Google. Oder?

Was nehmt ihr so?

Tak manzel ma navigaci #OsmAnd a zkousel mi importovat ten GPX. A tam se hned objevilo *navigovat*. Tedy je to snad pro me nejlepsi reseni. Naplanovat trasu z Mapy.cz a exportovat do OsmAndu. Aspon kompromis svobody.

If you are interested in use-case, I’m thinking that e-ink might actually be a great display tech for a sat nav on my motorbike, on the dirt. I use #osmand and can adjust colour of maps to match.
Would be awesome for tulip-style road books.

@flup Currently @CoMaps (after I stopped using @organicmaps or #MagicEarth ). I realy like #NuNav but it does not appear to be available or usable in the UK at this time. Occasionally I also use #OsmAnd.

What do you like about Goggle Maps so much? Why do you think Apple Maps is so bad?

OsmAnd 5.3 for iOS — Now Available!

Wo kann man denn bei #OsmAnd einstellen, dass die App einem bestimmten Track (z. B. als GPX importiert) zwingend folgen muss? Die rote Linie wird zwar korrekt angezeigt, aber die Navigation folgt ihr nicht immer, sondern weicht hier und da mal ab, obwohl ich keinen Grund dafür erkennen kann. Ich meine, die Option sogar mal gesehen zu haben, fand sie heute beim Radeln aber nicht. 🤔
New version of #OsmAnd (v3.5) released. Lots os new option and features such as better classification of recorded tracks. You can read the improvements on https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-android-5-3-released/
One interesting thing I wanted to highlight is that you can include a minimum cycle path width so that the routing can take it into account if you are using a cargo bike https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-android-5-3-released/#bicycle-width-parameter
I find it interesting and a good reason to add widths to cycle paths in #OpenStreetMap which so far is not that often avail.

2. On the new phone there's a constant bar at the top of the screen showing an arrow and the kilometers to a seemingly random map marker I have set. It does not matter if I show the markers on the map or not, this top bar is just there all the time.

How can I get rid of it, please?

Thank you!

I need some help with #OsmAnd:

1. On my old phone, when I selected a "from" and "to" and did not press "Start", but just minimized the navigation UI there was two boxes up in the right hand corner, one saying how long the route is in kilometers, the other estimating how long it will take to travel.

This does not happen on my new phone, even though I have imported all settings from the old. How can I turn this on, please?
