osmand starts with media folder dialog

['Martin Trautmann' via OsmAnd]

Hi all,

after some significant problems with slow startup I have removed
whatever of old maps I found.

Even before that and probably since a recent update osmand+ always
starts with the file folder (Datenordner) dialog.

My memory locaction is specified manually as SD card,
Android/media/net.osmand.plus

But why does it keep asking me for the memory location and how can I
change that (mal-)behavior again?

and still I feel it would be osmand's own task NOT to load maps which
are not required - at least for an initial startup, but also later on
for navigation.

Very interesting. However, I can't create net.osmand.plus within media
(no write permission) and I can't access this folder since it does not
contain any maps yet.

I wonder whether my system is completely messed up by now, due to the
changes of Googles memory policy.

For a few days now osmand always asks me on startup about its storage place.

At the moment it's on multiuser space 2 which names a path of
/storage/82A1-7ABC/Android/obb/net.osmand.plus
It's just a guess that this might be the "SD-Card".

The file managers that I checked no longer have access to these folders.

So I re-installed the typical maps which I actually need - and those now
are used again.

However, when I check for my local maps, all the other maps are still
shown. They are all marked with green, claiming to be the most recent
version, although all the old ones are from 1.12.2023 while the actual
new ones are from 01.04.2024

The map info does not show me where those maps actually are. I have the
icons
1) box with dropdown, telling me zero of one files have been deactivated
2) refresh spin arrows, do not work
3) edit pencil, does not work
4) upload from box, which asks me for the file manager
5) trash

So the maps are there, but are not there. I guess I'll walk through all
of them and trash them manually.  But when I try, osmand tells me "zero
of one files have been deleted".

I feel it's not only Google's memory concept that was flawed by a
protection that I actually do not want, but also by osmands failure to
provide a useful migration policy and a now corrupted memory concept.

I wonder where else I still have dumps of former map storage locations
since those were created once and now are not longer accessible, while
they still are found by some other way.

Deactivation of maps should be done within osmand automatically, in
order to use only the most relevant maps within <100 km distance for a
reasonable startup speed.



I guess I should tell the system setup to delete all of osmand directly.
Is there any other way to clean up that mess?


I do not even understand the difference of "standard maps" vs "sources":
Standardkarten: 21.2 GB
Quellen: 33.84 GB

How can I save and export my own data (tracks, favorits etc.) before I
tell the system to remove all osmand data?

Thanks to Pertti and you, I found it within the car configuration

in German:

  Anzeige konfigurieren
  > Geschwindigkeitsmesser

within the common profile it was off,
within the car profile (Auto) it was set to on

But why? Whoever wants it, it could be added to the upper area with the
default layout (transparent) - why an overlay on a very different
position with nontransparent white background?

Does it do anything different, maybe even better?
