Long time user of Osmand. Been quite a while since I commented. I used to keep several versions on my phone. Using.. net.osmand net.osmand.dev net.osmand.plus
However the 3.6.3 has been such a remarkable cleanup of the menus for the different profiles, I'm dumping everything I used to play around with. Great job with the new interface to the the profiles. Cleaner! Elegant! Orthogonal! Not sure what the best word is. I run Osmand on a $59 phone from 4 years ago. And it works great. About the routing. Yes sometimes a little slower than some of the other commercial ones, but I played with all of them a lot over the past 4 years and I "feel" osmand tends to give more logical results. Like not routing through a big city instead of taking the bypass around the city. While it's cool to see a 500 mile route. In reality I don't drive than way. I pick a spot down the road to get going. Maybe a 100 miles. The points further down the road I pick in my head while driving. Long distance plans just never seem to work out for me. Saw the comments about "Cant find routing.xml" Spent about an hour last night looking at the internal net.osmand/files/routing net.osmand.dev/files/routing net.osmand.plus/files/routing and the external net.osmand/files/routing net.osmand.dev/files/routing net.osmand.plus/files/routing on versions 3.4.8, version 3.5.5, and version 3.6.3 And I used the file search menu of Fx file explorer. So the guy that can't find it. I think he's right. Never found the routing.xml Which is fine with me as I have no desire to optimize something that has been optimized by people with a lot more knowledge of what's going on "under the hood". Just as an experiment I grabbed the "routing.xml" from the install of apk. Using WinRar to look at the contents of the apk. Found the routing.xml. Put it in the routing directory and played with the *heuristicCoefficient .* >From the apk, the car route value is 1.5. Changed it to 1.0. Was not able to observe any difference on the calculation time of a 50 mile route. But I have no idea if the app is even reading the routing.xml from the directory I put it in so not much point to the experiment. I personally don't think I should be screwing with that value. Much simpler to "guide" a route with "avoid road" and "intermediate points" I can then jump to another application and get the same route. Which by the way. The "Cruiser" app by "devemux86" is really quite remarkable. Simple, lightweight. Routes from point A to point B using car, bicycle, or foot. Can learn the entire menu system is about 10 minutes. If Osmand is the "swiss army knife" then "Cruiser" is the "dagger" or "switch blade". Osmand and Cruiser are the two navigation apps I keep on my phone. If I had and mission to Mars, needed a navigation system that my life depended on, it would probably be "Cruiser" So to both camps. Keep up the great work. The offline maps are great. And both Apps are great!. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
