Hello guys,

thanks again for your support.

I would like to use OsmAnd to follow a custom made route like this I've
created some months ago using Google MyMaps.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=10phcvVEn3fNPSHVn0EVa69rw4g84LgHz&ll=41.55660232752447%2C14.158074899999974&z=10

 I just want the software following the track I don't want OsmAnd to
calculate its own route between wayponts.

As far as I've understood I have two choices:

- building the route using the app (it will be really hard as I often build
tracks of something like 1500 Kms)

- using Ridewithgps exporting the gpx file.

It seems that I have to learn how to use ridewithgps.

Andrea.
