In OsmAnd's main folder (e.g. Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/) is a file called favourites.gpx (with old versions stored in the subfolder "backup"). This is a standard GPX POI file containing your favourites, complete with any categories you may have created for them.
It used to be that OsmAnd only ever wrote to this file and did not read it on startup. But I just tested the newly-released version 3.5 and now it does read the file after a full restart. This is great, and raises the possibility of using Syncthing to sync favourites between devices... I need to experiment! To transfer favourites to a new device, you just need to copy favourites.gpx and overwrite the one on the new device. Alternatively, if you have any GPX POI file (including favourites.gpx), if you try to open it in a file manager, OsmAnd should come up as one of the apps that can open it (or maybe it is the only one available for you). Then you are given the option of importing the file into your favourites or just viewing as GPX points. If you add to your favourites then it's merged in to what you already have in a sensible way, preserving categories and avoiding exact duplicates. Please make backups before experimenting in case this has changed since I tried it a while ago! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
