Yeah, that "Bart" story: *c'est moi*. The new version of straight-line navigation kicks in if you go off-course. With the appropriate settings, it maintains your original bearing, then, maybe two-thirds of the way, it course-corrects--angling back to the destination. What's the application for this? As opposed to just straight straight-line navigation from current location to destination.
Here's the blog description: "We have also implemented a new setting. In case if you deviate from the route during the navigation, this setting builds the shortest path from your current position to the calculated route with the maximum angle. In other words, if the angle is higher than the one set by the user, OsmAnd calculates the next point of the route to build an additional route segment, so the angle will be valid."
