Hi, I'm almost in the same situation (see my question from March, 12th "Searchable Custom POIs <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/osmand/AV1J_HdUJmk>"). I really appreciate OSMand's versatility and hope that this feature comes back in a vanilla way.
There's one permanent fix and 2 immediate (temporary) workarounds: a) Use F-Droid to get an older version of Osmand: Reinstall an older version of the app from F-Droid, the Free and Open Source *Android* App Repository. Generally, it's considered bad practice to side-load apps from a security standpoint, but F-Droid is an exception here, as it's a curated repository of benign FOSS apps. You need to enable "install from unknown sources" in the security settings section. If you do so, I strongly suggest to install the F-Droid store, you can later on enable the "archive" repository, if the version that you want vanishes from F-Droid's normal repo (the archive is not accessible on the web, you need to enable the "archive repo" to see very old versions in the f-droid store app). Site: https://f-droid.org Osmand: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=osmand&fdid=net.osmand.plus b) edit the POI config XML file by hand: I tested with editing/replacing poi_types.xml with the version from 2.4.6 (it's in the osmand folder where the map data files are as well), but to no avail. Maybe it's broken at the moment or I'm doing something wrong. c) maybe osmand devs investigate/re-add the feature. I'd be very glad. cheers, Christian Am Montag, 20.
