hello,

It is possible, for example, to search for restaurants in osmand and

visualize them, including on a smaller scale.
However for other categories such as works of art, this does not work 
(?). Does anyone have a beginning of an explanation? or is it just a bug?


EDIT: on osmand, search for "art" then choose "Work of art|tourism", 
and "DISPLAY WORK OF ART ON THE MAP": the symbols are not highlighted


this workflow works perfectly for me, so it doesn't seem a general bug 
of OsmAnd (I have OsmAnd+ 4.2.7 installed).

Maybe because OsmAnd is based on OpenStreetMap and not on Google Maps? :-/

Re: Stop auto-zoom on "position centred"

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Hi Giordano,

when I open the settings for the route I go to "Navigation settings" > 
"Map during navigation" and then I have "Auto zoom map", where I can 
select the "No auto zoom" option.

How do I prevent the app from changing the zoom?

I would like to keep my position always centred, and choose the zoom

Thank you for your help.

Re: Finding the exact type of 'surface'/'tracktype' of a given path

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Hi,

probably not exactly what you're asking but, in OsmAnd, under *Configure 
map* > *Details*, you can activate "*Show road surface*" and "*Show road 
quality*". If available in OSM, they will be rendered with a different 
style (here you can find all the different rendering styles: 
https://osmand.net/help-online/map-legend/)

now the only way I know to do this, is through a "query features" for

all these OSM properties.


However, opening up osm.org is not practical on a phone, and 
long-tapping on the point of interest in OsmAnd does not display any 
such property. On the other hand, comparing the line type you see on 
the map to the MapLegend in the Help is not convenient: too many taps 
back and forth, and even then, the different path categories are hard 
to distinguish for people who are colour-blind.

Re: Using Google maps to connect to a location in, 'Osmand'

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but what I'd do is simply to do a long
tap on the map in GMaps at the place I'm interested in; select and copy the
coordinates that appear on the map; paste the coordinates in the search box
in OsmAnd.
It seems to work smoothly...

This is not true. You can create filters on POI groups and inside POI 
groups. I use those filters as well as some POIs I don't care about at 
all.


when I click the Hide option, I see only the following types: 
Boundaries, Polygons, Buildings, House numbers, Proposed objects, POI 
icons, POI labels, Underground objects, Overground objects.


Are you saying that you can further customize these objects or reuse 
coustom filters you created? How are you doing that?

As far as I know, the answer is no. The predefined settings within the 
query button are as specific as OsmAnd gets.


>Another example could be filtering all sidewalks with a paved 
surface, i.e. with a query similar to "highway=footway AND

The OSM feature "highway=*" is more problematic still in that OsmAnd 
doesn't recognize roads, footways, etc as categories within its search 
function.


I was thinking to try and understand how to build more specific queries 
(maybe contributing to the code?), similarly to what one can do in 
http://overpass-turbo.eu/, but from what you're saying probably it isn't 
so easy...

Thanx Xavier,

Since it stands to reason that most amenity=parking areas will contain

I'm not planning to map all the parking spaces in the world, but I'm 
planning to map all disabled parking spaces in my town, and this would 
be enough to have a good test case :-)

Re: How can I search for parking spaces for disabled people?

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Hi there and thanks to all for the interactions.

On 03/06/19 08:59, Peter B wrote:

OsmAnd uses capacity:disabled= , example capacity:disabled=1
It is possible to create a user defined search with that:
In filters check "Dedicated places for disabled".
If works!
Of course you need the tagging in the data. I did not test other taggings with 
disabled tags.
Peter


The tag capacity:disabled= is referred mainly to 
amenity=parking, and not to amenity=parking_space.


So it describes the number of disabled parking spaces inside a car 
parking, but not the specific parking space.


The use case I'm looking for is to help disabled people to reach exactly 
the space for them where to park, so that they can also plan which path 
(throught sidewalks that have e.g. a lowered kerb) to use to reach their 
destination.


My use case is very specific, but the question is more general:

"*is it possible, in OSMand, to build a filter customizing the query, 
independently from the predefined ones? Or how can add a specific custom 
filter?*".


Another example could be filtering all sidewalks with a paved surface, 
i.e. with a query similar to "highway=footway AND footway=sidewalks AND 
surface=asphalt".


Thanks for any hint,

Ale

How can I search for parking spaces for disabled people?

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Dear all,
I've tried to understand how to search in OSMand for parking spaces for 
disabled people, but without success.
Using custom filters I can see how to select parking areas containing 
spaces for disabled (amenity=parking + capacity:disabled=*), but I'm not 
able to find a way to select single parking places designated for disabled 
people (amenity=parking_space + disabled=yes/designated or other similar 
combinations).
Could you please suggest a way to do that or suggest some resource to 
understand how to cutomize in this sense the filters?
Thank you very much,
Ale
