Hello, I'm using OsmAnd Plus since long and always loved it. I am using version 3.1. always with the latest updates on a Samsung S5.
End of last month, I went on vacation to southern France, having downloaded the map files of the area before. After having arrived in southern France, I used OsmAnd Plus for some navigation, but mainly using the map marker feature to remember the precise location of sightseeing, landmarks and other places visited. All of a sudden, OsmAnd Plus started to heavily slow down. I finished and restarted it, no help. I also turn off and on the mobile phone, but OsmAnd Plus kept working verrrry slow. However I still continued to use it, just had to spend more time for every action. However, when moving the map or zooming it, OsmAnd quit working (died completely) after approximately 3 or 4 move or zoom actions. I still used OsmAnd Plus for another 2 or 3 days, until all of a sudden OsmAnd Plus stopped working at all. Whenever I tried to start it, it gave me an error message and immediately died. >From this moment on I could not use OsmAnd Plus at all!!! To try to get OsmAnd Plus back into operation as quickly as possible, I uninstalled OsmAnd Plus and reinstalled it. And yes, it worked fine again. However I had lost my favourites and my map markers! I was able to recover my favourites because I had saved my favourites-backup file before uninstalling. From that i could at least recover my favourites. However, I could not find the location of my map markers and therefore was not able to to save and later restore my (more than 150!) map markers. They seem to be unrecoverably lost. For any future mishappening, I would like to be able to also save and later recover my map markers, but to able to do that, I would need to understand where the map markers are saved. Therefore: Can somebody please let me know where (in what file and possibly what format) the map markers are kept, such that I may avoid a similar desaster in future incidents. Please note that it does not help to recommend to export/import of the map markers, since I can no longer use export when OsmAnd is not willing to be started. Thanks in advance for every bit of help!
