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.
