Thanks for the reply. I understand a bit more now.
How can I test “start - set of viapoints - destination approach “ ???more info? Is this just creating waypoints along the gpx route?…if so how would it know to keep to my gpx track and not find the fastest? This gps track I was running was going up through ct and purposely routed on dirt roads more than paved and has nothing to do with shortest or fastest route so I must keep exactly to the gpx route. Can Router open the gpx I have then add routing and keep exactly to the track and generate hints that might be like turn by turn visual on screen and I save this gpx and use it in osmand? Is that the concept?…or is Brouter only good for creating a route form scratch? I have tried garmin basemap and everything in my track are roads paved and unpaved that exist in the osmand vector maps so it’s too bad it can navigate it. When I was forced to follow the dot visually, I had to manually scroll the screen as the track went off screen. It would be great if it could be zoomed way in so you can really see the turns and auto center…does osmand do that or only if it’s in a navigation mode? Not that I have the money for this but the Garmin Montana…can it do turn by turn from my gpx???…does it have better internal navigation? tia On Sunday, November 27, 2016 at 2:57:02 PM UTC-5, Poutnik wrote: > > Be aware that the application native navigation > very differs from navigationg along the GPX route in OSMAnd ( and in the > most GPX aware navigations as well ). > > The former is calulated by the application, using vector map data, > so the app is ware of road classes and conditions. > Therefore navigation hints make much sense wrt the road network. > > The latter puts the nav. application ( more or less ) > into a rather dummy point2point GPX route follower. > > It have advantage it can be used with any map, no vector map/data has to > be available. > But the same is also its main disadvantage.
