Related, if you would rather de-googlify your life as much as possible and not depend on their location-service backend either, grab the "osmand+" from F-Droid or the like. I read that it uses the native Android GPS API instead of all that extra backend fluff, and it just seems like such a cleaner approach with less encumbrance. I started running that and never looked back.
I'm baffled that the core OSMAnd community actually knuckled under to google's demands about that. The only disadvantage so far seems to be that osmand+ or osmand~ or whatever it's called seems really slow to review tracks when I have a lot of them stored, popping up occasional notifications about "osmand~ is not responding" which are actually false because it's still running properly behind that. _H* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
