HowTo: sync favourites between devices with Syncthing
It used to be that the favourites.gpx file was only ever written, not read, by OsmAnd. But now on a full OsmAnd restart it is imported. This means you can sync your favourites between devices by syncing the favourites.gpx file. I've been using Syncthing https://syncthing.net/ (free, open source) successfully. If you use a file manager to open a .gpx POI file with OsmAnd, and choose to import as favourites then OsmAnd adds the contents intelligently to your existing favourites, preserving categories and avoiding duplicates. It seems that on startup it now imports favourites.gpx in the same way. Thus, by syncing favourites.gpx between devices you can sync additions to your favourites, but you still need to make any deletions manually on each device. Syncthing works between folders, but these can be in different locations. I've been syncing favourites.gpx between an Android 4.4 OsmAnd installation on a phone's SD card, and the built-in storage of an Android 9 tablet. To sync only favourites.gpx, not the whole folder, then Syncthing's ignore pattern for the folder should be: !favourites.gpx * (This resides in a text file called .stignore that you can create in an editor or during setup of the synced folders in Syncthing.) See "Ignoring files" in the Syncthing documentation. Other than choosing to start Syncthing automatically on device boot, I've been using all default settings. This means only syncing while on WiFi. If you add to favourites on multiple devices while they're unconnected, there will be a conflict that Syncthing handles. But if you do it while they're connected there's no problem: on the next full restart of OsmAnd each device will see all of the newly added favourites. I hope this is of interest to someone, and as ever thanks to the devs: I've been wanting to be able to do this for ages! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.

Many thanks in advance. @Xaiver I have registered for OpenStreetMap, but I cannot ascertain the numbering of roundabout exits. I have carefully looked at all of the menu options, but to no avail Your assistance will be much appreciated! Obviously, I'd need a URL referencing a specific roundabout that you know has miss-pronounced the exit numbering before I could look at anything. I can't read your mind over the internet and know which roundabout among all the world's roundabouts you have in mind. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
