This is not really a question. Just an observation. I finally downloaded and am learning to use osmconvert, osmfilter, ... What a nice set of tools we have available for OsmAnd! Been using OsmAnd as my daily nav app. I'm continually blown away how well it works and the detail of the maps.
I used osmconvert, osmfilter, osmcreater to create an obf that only contains high level roads for the state of Florida. osmfilter -v fl_roads.osm --keep="highway=motorway =trunk =primary =secondary =tertiary =unclassified =road =*_link" >fl_roads_smale.osm Then osmconvert to get pbf. then osmcreater to get obf. The new obf was only 30 Meg instead of 419 Meg. I can compute 600 mile routes in seconds. I call this global/coarse routing. But it gets me within a few miles of my intended destination. When I near the destination I switch back to the 419 Meg obf for fine/local navigation. But this is also very fast since I'm now only a few miles away from my destination. No more long route calculation times! God I love OsmAnd and the rich tool set available. Now I can route across entire states in a matter of seconds. I may create a usa.obf that only contains the roads as specified in the osmfilter I show above. But I've only got a laptop with 8Gig of ram so I am a little bit (no pun intended) compute challenged. Keep up the good work. Will let you know what happens. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
