How do I create a gpx route that can be succesfully imported in OsmAnd?? There are several online route planners on the internet. I tried a few that targeted on motorcycling. The one that I like the most is: myrouteApp. The url is: https://www.myrouteapp.com/en. (there are six languages available) You have to register on this site to used. Registering is free. The routes are online stored. When you login you will see in the top of the screen 7 blue tabs. I use only two of them: "Routes" and "New Route". When you click on the tab "Routes"you will see the routes that you have created. Clicking on the tab "New Route"gives you the possibilty to create a new route. I shows a pop up: -> Name: here you can give the route a name -> Privacy mode: Public/Friends/Private Here you can choose who can see you route. I always choose private. -> Mode: Driving/Cycling/ByFoot I choose driving for motorcycling. I do not have much experience with "cycling" (3-4 times) and "by foot" (1time)
After you made your choice you click OK and the fun begins. Myrouteapp wants your permission to know your location. I allowed it. - You can easily add waypoints just by clicking on the map. A route between the waypoints is instantly created. - You can move waypoints by dragging and dropping. - When you click on a waypoint you will see a popupmenu withe information and the possibility to delete the waypoint. - When you click on a route you an extra waypoint on that point. When you are ready you can save the route in a gpx-file - Click on the tab "Sace as". Then you wil see many save options. The first option "gpx 1.1 (route,track,poi) works fine for OsmAnd. The name of the gpx-file is "name of the route. gpx" It is stored in the download map of your webbrowser. From there you must copy it to your smartphone. I OsmAnd you can import the gpx-file and show the track on the screen. Then you choose navigate with the option 'calculate route between points'. This can take a very long time (2-3 minutes). When the calculated route is shown on the screen you can see if the route covers the track. When you see differences you can go back to myrouteapp adjust the route and donwload and import it again. When you are satisfied you can save the calcuted route. note: - Use the standard settings in OsmAnd for optimal results: (fastest route, no avoid options) - I still have problems with the start and the finish. I create the routes on the pc with the start and the finish by my house (my location). OsmAnd wants me to drive an extra block. Perhaps I should position the start and finish away from my house. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
