Hello Boris, Perhaps the following may help:
POI “Point of Interest” files can be imported into OsmAnd and saved as “Favourites”. Suitable import files include: kml gpx kml Create or download a kml file containing POI references. Save the file on the Android device Open the file with OsmAnd This should happen automatically. If not, choose “Open with…” Open “My Places”. The kml file will be loaded into Import > Tracks Select the file. Touch the “3 Vertical Dots” icon to the right off the Search icon Select “Add to Favourites” Activate the “Points” check box Touch the Favourites icon (the Star) IMPORTANT: Define the name for this group of favourites If the above steps are not followed precisely, the POIs will not be saved to a Favourites group. Rather, every POI within the imported kml file will be saved as an individual file in the general “Favourites” folder gpx POIs can be created from gpx files which are either self-created or downloaded from Google Maps ------------------------------------------------------------------- > On 27 May 2019, at 13:55, Boris Feldblyum <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thank you, Helmut for taking the time to reply. > > Unfortunately, I am not a programmer and do not understand your advice and > what to do. > > Here is what I did and what am trying to do right now. > > I tried to add a friend’s address as point of interest (POI) on both OSMAND > and MAPS.ME while the apps were open but neither worked.
