I want to transfer my Osmand settings to other android devices.

Is there an alternative way to backup osmand settings?
Many thanks for hints and explanations.

Do you think you can manage few adb commands? There is a way in
Android but you need to use adb to allow adb backup. How to do it is
already described here somewhere, but let me know if you want to try
this way and need a description.
If you mean "adb backup", when I tried that once it appeared that
Osmand had marked itself as "do not backup" because I didn't see
anything for Osmand when I decrypted the resulting backup file. My
Osmand is installed from F-Droid (so it is the version that F-Droid
builds) so maybe that makes a difference.
Otherwise, if there is something different about 'how' to run the adb
backup, I'd be interested in knowing the steps you propose.
Alternatively, you could try oandbackup app on fdroid, if it would
work without any other modifications.
This uses the system's backup and restore.
The page for oandbackup says it needs root access on the phone. Note
I've not tested it yet to see if that assertion on the f-droid page is
accurate.
