Re: Strange problem with the compass

[David Lymn]

Maybe Google is using wifi towers to create a compass bearing. This
software might only work when the phone is moving. You need to look at your
phone specifications to see if it has compass hardware.

You're arrived

[David Delille]

Hello

In OSMAnd, when I reached my destination, I can see a message on the screen.
The message is "you're arrived at destination" (or something like that).

I want to avoid this message. Is that possible ?

Thanks for help

Removing custom colors

[David]

I played a bit around with the new custom colors for favorites/
This is a great addition to the program I think.

But does anyone have any idea how to remove the custom colors from the list 
to avoid having a endless and confusing list of colors.

Re: Poi possibilities & problem

[David]

CP, i see your point with endless icons, my sugestions were for a few (i think 
often used) extra travel icons like campsite hotel "national"park and swimming 
hole.

And a few extra basic shapes (like triangles) for people to use for their  own 
"in-icon-sub-divisions", so there dont have to be four diferent campsite icons 
and six differen swimming icons.

i don't know what tagging is, if you mean putting information in osm, that is 
verry usefull for public info, like  is there a museum here, maybe less so for 
does this museum have a toilet, and verry debatable for was this a clean 
toilet. (Although my wife thinks this is information we should all mark on our 
personal map).

The way osmand is going with this poi feature makes it extremely usefull for 
registering PERSONAL, non-public information, in my case mainly for travel.

But i see lots more posibilities:
For biologists marking samples in the field (red-animal-up trangle)- spotted 
male wolf here; (red-animal-down triangle) female; (square) couple...
(Blue-flower-octagon) rare orchid population here, (blue-flower-square) only 
single orchid...
For city scouts:
(Yellow-octagon-exclamation mark) repair this pothole a.s.a.p.
(Green-square-question mark) have a gardner have a look at this location in the 
park.
As i say, endless posibilities.

Re: Poi possibilities & problem

[David]

Thank you so much.
I realy love what you are doing with the poi function.
When you fix the group color default, it would also be great to be able to set 
a default group icon (and dare i ask a default group shape).

As an illustration:
I travel extensively in a motorhome and use poi groups to mark all usefull 
places. Now i use brown for campspots and put in the name or comment wether it 
is a "wild" spot, free official site, or a payed site with facilities.

A default camping icon would help differentiate campsites from hotels (also 
brown) and rv dumpsites (also brown).
And a default shape would differentiate between payed, free and wild spots.

Swimming holes come in different forms too, rivers, lakes, hotsprings; (now all 
blue) could have different default shapes.

Restaurant local or international food, now all white
Friends, family, co-worker adresses, now all pink...

The possibilities are endless.

Ps:
An upwards pointing and a downwards pointing triangle could also be usefull 
shapes.
For instance:
Upward pointing with restaurant icon: realy good restaurant.
Downward pointing with hotel icon: realy bad hotel.

And ...
I am missing travel/leisure icons.
Like hotel, campsite, restaurant, supermarket/shop, park, viewpoint, swim spot, 
beach, rv dump station, nature reserve, museum .

Also in de symbols group letters and symbols like ? ! # @ & € $ + - ✓ would be

This is no complaint, but constructive sugestions. I think you made a

Poi possibilities & problem

[David]

The new poi icons and shapes are great. Thank you, I think I will use them a 
lot.

But
When I create a poi and pick a different group/category from the last used one 
it does not get that new groups pre-determined colour. Although the next poi 
will. This feels like a bug that the standard poi colour will not be set until 
after the first point saved in a group.

Question or Suggestion:
It would be great if it were possible to set a standard icon for a poi group.

Auto zoom

[David]

When navigating the zoom keeps reverting to the 200m scale when I hit the blue 
button to snap the current position to the middle-bottom of the screen. There 
is no auto zoom if I do not snap the position with the blue button, but then my 
position keeps running off the screen.

I set auto zoom to off, and time to reposition on 'never' in the settings, but 
that does not seem to help.

This way I only get a verry small part of the map on my 12" samsung tablet, 
witch is a pitty, specialy while touring, I like to see what features are in 
the few kilometers around me.

Is there someone who knows a sulution?
Manny thanks in advance

Re: Import many (100k+) POIs into OsmAnd

[David Bengoa Rocandio]

Thanks for the suggestions, sadly the POIs are neither very interesting for
the general public nor the license allows me to publish them in OSM.

I'll try converting to osm and then converting them to a map file.

Thanks,

Import many (100k+) POIs into OsmAnd

[David Bengoa Rocandio]

Hi,

I'm trying to display about 100k POIs in OsmAnd, I tried to convert them 
into GPX, which resulted in a 250MB file (each point has some description 
too), when importing into OsmAnd as favourites OsmAnd hangs and eventually 
crashed with OutOfMemory, so I guess it's not the way to go.

How should go about doing this?

Regards,
David

Guru Maps & OSMand

[David Thum]

Howdy,

I checked out OSMAND and I love the maps.  I've been using Guru Maps app 
and love it.  It has so many features including a folder system to file 
away GPS tracks.  

Is there any way to use the OSMAND Maps in the Guru Maps app?  I have 
installed other maps in the Guru app and the default map is a version of 
OSM so it seems like it would be possible.  Would be willing to pay for the 
maps of course.

Thanks,
Dave

Re: Navigation profiles not working?

Thanks Harry
I might have mis-worded my problem, all I did was change the speed settings in 
the navigation settings.
(I would not even know how to change the heuristic coefficient)

Minimum speed from 20 to 10 km/h
Standard speed from 45 to 33 km/h
Maximum speed from 130 to 100 km/h

I hoped to get more realitic driving time estimates for my little motorhome.

On a 2250 km roadtrip Osmand calculates a minnimal difference !!With the slower

Re: OT: Android head units

[David Remelts]

Paul, here is a link to the ATOTO web site that gives some dimensions for 
the unit: 
http://www.myatoto.com/index.php?m=content=index=show=15=57

If your faceplate really is only 1.5U it probably won't work.  You need a 
full 2DIN opening for this unit.  My truck had a 2DIN faceplate but the 
internal (guts) of the unit was only 1DIN.  I had to remove some sheetmetal 
under the dash to get this unit in.  But I knew that ahead of time based on 
reports by others.  The modification that I had to make does not cause any 
structural integrity issues and does not prevent reinstalling the old unit 
if I want to.

In my 2014 RAM 2500 the display is perfectly positioned, it does not block 
the heat/AC vents and it does not interfere with my manual stick shift.  
The screen does not have a polarized filter so polarized sunglasses do not 
block the display (at least I have not had any issues with that).  I also 
like that it has a physical volume knob. In fact, it was one of my "must 
have" requirements - I hate fiddling with on-screen controls when I need to 
quickly increase or decrease the volume.

Re: Re-entering expressway wants me to backtrack

[David Remelts]

Hmmm... that's interesting.  I will have to experiment with that setting.  
In the rest area scenario, I think that might work if it simply indicates 
that I am off-route and points back to the route (I think I can find my way 
back onto the expressway without guidance ;-)  As long as it doesn't do 
the  double back thing  after I converge back on the original GPX route, 
that's good.

However, I can envision a scenario where it could be a problem if it does 
not actually recalculate the route to get you back on course.  A couple 
weeks ago we were going thru an unfamiliar city and they  had the street 
all torn up.  I had to deviate from the route and the detour was not marked 
at all.  OsmAnd did an excellent job of rerouting me and getting me to my 
destination.

So, like you said, it may not be ideal either way.

upgrading the unit in your vehicle.  Personally, I opted for an Android 
head unit to put in my truck for navigation while pulling our 5th wheel 
trailer.  With an Android head unit pretty much any app that you can 
install on your phone you can install on the head unit so you're not 
constrained by compatibility issues like you are with a proprietary system 
like Android Auto. The head unit that I went with is the ATOTO A6 2DIN 
A6Y1021PR.  It has a 10" display that sits out away from the dash a little 
ways and has a little bit of up/down/left/right tilt so you can get a good 
viewing angle.  I've had it for about 4 months and we just returned from a 
4800 mile trip and I am completely satisfied with it.  I set mine up with 
Car Home Ultra as my home screen. There's an excellent tutorial on setting 
up Car Home Ultra here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ATHzb5HSPRQ

I know this is a little off-topic for an OsmAnd forum but just wanted to 
throw this out there as a hardware option for running OsmAnd.

Re: Re-entering expressway wants me to backtrack

[David Remelts]

I am using the same version of OsmAnd+ on the tablet.  Also the same map 
files. I suppose, as a test, I could use the tablet for navigating the GPX 
route instead of transferring  it to the Android head unit in the truck. 
That's what I used to do before I installed the Android head unit but the 
mount I had in the truck for the tablet placed the tablet on top of the 
dash and I had problems with overheating the tablet if I was driving into 
the sun.  I'll let you know the results when I get a chance to test it.

Re: Auto Zoom not zoomed out far enough

[David Remelts]

Ik and Peter, thanks for confirming this.  I really hate to give up 
autozoom because it is really useful to have it automatically zoom in close 
as I approach a turn.  Maybe I'll play around with the auto-center time so 
I can manually zoom way out to get an overview and then after a minute or 
so have it automatically re-center the map at the default zoom level.

Re: Re-entering expressway wants me to backtrack

[David Remelts]

Bart, thanks for the tip about the "Pass along entire track" setting - I 
will test that the next chance I get.  I confess that there is so much 
about this app that I don't know yet but the more I do find out about it 
the more impressed I am with it.  I am beginning to learn that when it 
doesn't do what I expect not to blame the app but my own ignorance ;-)

But your comment about the difference between GPX and generated routes 
makes me start to question my normal method of using the app.  I still want 
to use my tablet to design the route because it is so much more convenient 
and comfortable to be sitting in the fifth-wheel planning the next day's 
leg of the journey than it is to sit in the cab of the truck to do it.  So, 
maybe rather than saving the route as a GPX I should just save the markers 
that were used to generate the route on the tablet, transfer them to the 
truck and regenerate the route.

And, speaking of differences between GPX and generated routes: I have 
discovered that if I want to reverse the route the GPX route will 
recalculate the route based solely on the end points, ignoring any 
waypoints that were used to create the original GPX route.  Whereas a 
generated route will retain the intermediate points, although they will 
have to be manually reordered.

So, all in all, it seems that there are many compelling reasons to use 
generated routes whenever possible.

Thanks again.

Auto Zoom not zoomed out far enough

[David Remelts]

In my navigation settings I have Auto Zoom set to long-range yet when i am 
driving at highway speeds (65 mph or more) the scale at the bottom of the 
map says .5 miles.  In fact, it did not seem to make any difference at all 
when I switched it from the default "mid-range" to "long-range".  This does 
not really seem very "long-range" to me.  

I am curious to know if this is what others are seeing or if there is a way 
to make it zoom out further at highway speeds.

Re: Re-entering expressway wants me to backtrack

[David Remelts]

I am quite certain that it was a GPX route.  My normal method is to use 
OsmAnd on my tablet to create the route and when I am satisfied with it I 
will save it as GPX and transfer it to the Android head unit in my truck 
which is running the same version of OsmAnd.  Then I will load that GPX 
file and start the navigation.

But, I think you are on to something.  I did have occasion to generate a 
route directly on the Android head unit in the truck and ran into an 
unexpected detour on the route.  OsmAnd did inform me that I had been off 
the route for two tenths of a mile (or whatever) but it never tried to make 
me go back and hit the points I had missed.

So, obviously, the next questions is: why do they behave differently?

Re-entering expressway wants me to backtrack

[David Remelts]

Say I am following a north-bound route on the expressway and I stop at a 
rest area and then exit the rest area to continue along the route.  
Obviously, I am rejoining the original route at a point further north than 
where I left it when I entered the rest area.  OsmAnd+ seems to realize 
that I have missed some points along the route and thinks I really need to 
go through those missed points.  So, it will recalculate the route and tell 
me to get off at the next exit and re-enter the expressway going south 
until I have passed the rest area and come to the next exit where I am to 
get off and re-enter the expressway going north again and continue through 
the missed points on the route.  If I ignore the instructions (which, of 
course, I do) it will recalculate the route again and pick the next exit 
for me so I can re-enter the south-bound expressway. Eventually, it will 
give up and just continue along the original route without trying to 
backtrack.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to eliminate this 
behavior?

Possible to change lane guidance color?

[David Remelts]

I'm new to OsmAnd and there is a lot I have to learn about it yet but just 
spending time reading posts in this forum has helped me so much already. 
Thanks to the community!  

I am wondering if there is any way to change the lane guidance colors?  On 
my Android head unit in my truck the lane I need to be in is displayed as a 
kind of pale yellow and the other lanes are gray.  I have to really look 
closely to tell the difference - it would be better if there was more 
contrast so that just a quick glance would be all that's needed to see 
which lane is highlighted.

Re: Import of GPX files created by OSMAND into Garmin BaseCamp or Garmin Devices

[David Martin]

Agree.  I have been looking for somewhere to ask OSMAND to look at the 
export of GPX files. I *always* import GPX to Basecamp or to the (older) 
Mapsource and neither can handle the GPS files that OSMAND produces.  So 
this 'feature' completely breaks my workflow.  And by the sound of it, for 
quite a few other people too.  I am not knowledgeable enough to determine 
what's broken, but presumably OSMAND developers do know.  Presumably some 
(new) GPX data is being output that older progs cannot handle.  Please give 
us an app option, or remove that data ?

Re: Routing Bug in Ingolstadt

[David Gleich]

@Max, das ist für mich keine Lösung sondern ein Workaround... Sinnvoll wäre 
es für so kurze Strecken, ampeln nicht zu umgehen. Und soetwas mit dem 
Routingallgorithmus zu lösen. (Wie es, denke ich, die Großen Hersteller 
auch tun?!)

Re: Altitude value of the point in context menu

[David]

Hear hear!

Traveling in california this summer I would have loved to be able to quickly 
check the altitude of my possible campsites.
The weather was terribly hot this summer, and 100 meters higher altitude means 
1 degree celcius less hot.
And as already pointed out the information is already available in osmand's 
database.

Local altitude/height

It would be nice if osmand would show the altitude/height of the point under 
the orange marker. For instance with the information you get if you pull the 
menu at the bottom of the screen up (with the coordinates and foto's)

Osmand has this info, because it uses it in the highness/steepness graph.

When you set your destination and press the navigate button, but not the start

Re: Orange map marker disappears too easily on recent update.

Just use one of the flags if you want to mark a place for a longer period.
That is where they are for, you can even flag several places.
I personaly think it is an improvement that the big orange blob does not stay 
on the map every time I want to mark, poi or navigate to a plsce on the map.

Re: Roundabout not displaying

Certainly multipolygon is probably the wrong relation type. I,ve changed

This seems to have fixed the rendering issue.

Contour lines map painfully slow

[David P]

I have come back to this app a few times over the past year hoping this might 
have been fixed. It has not.  Maybe there is a tweak to get it to work better. 
I live in California. It's a huge state.  I suspect the issue is from the size 
of the downloaded map for this state. 
When using the contour lines, the app pretty much locks up when tying to pan 
around. 
Is there a fix to this, maybe the California map can be broken down into groups 
of downloads so this program doesn't have to load 1Gig of map data?

Hi John, that's not very helpful.

As far as I know:

Improving: Markers import from Google MyMaps (.KMZ) to .GPX

[david]

Hi, first I'd like to show you something, and then ask questions how to 
make it better.


-- Google MyMaps --> OsmAnd

One of the best things about OsmAnd is that we're able to stay offline and 
navigate. A part of that should also be saved markers. Correct me if I'm 
wrong, but we don't have an online, collaborative way to do this with 
OsmAnd.

I did this simple solution needed for my project:
http://totalism.org/maps

It uses Google MyMaps, and offers .GPX endpoints.
It does this via a .PHP script that converts the native .KMZ, a zipped 
.KML, to .GPX, , wrapping gpsbabel.
I'm able to open it in browser on my mobile device, and then "import" it as 
OsmAnd markers.

The whole thing is a few lines of PHP:

http://totalism.org/E2H/kmz2gpx.php?LINK=z2VTgpJjSQEo.kYW_4SV5qz-U=Bologna,%20Italy
I didn't put it on github yet but will if there's interest.
  - "LINK" parameter is the google "mid",
  - "NAME" is a suffix to the .GPX file.



-- How to improve this by having typed markers?

The marker *types*, however, are lost in the process.

  - Does anyone here know .GPX enough to say it supports something like 
this (marker color / ico / type)?
  - Could some of the developers give me some pointers where in the source 
to look for this? (.GPX file handling) I might take on it myself but would 
appreciate somebody to help me find my way in the code. Feel free to reach 
out to me ... da...@middlemachine.com
  - Are there other good ways to have offline maps + offline markers (with 
OsmAnd)?


Thanks
David

Re: Noob cannot get UK postcode search to work properly (Android)

Thanks for the info. I have now copied the obf files to the correct folder 
(the same one as the World_basemap) and have been able to get the map to 
display the poscodes. But If I search on a postcode, even under POIs, I 
still cannot find many postcodes including G41 5PH. Am I doing something 
wrong the way I am performing the search?

I've copied into the /data/data/net.osmand/files folder. At the moment, I 
tap on Search the Address then Postcode. If I type in, say, G41 5PH it 
comes up with a few entries for G41 5.. but not the postcode I searched 
for. Is there something I need to change in Settings or a different way of 
doing the search from what I gave above?

Noob cannot get UK postcode search to work properly (Android)

[David Leslie]

I have OsmAnd installed on my Redmi Note 3 Pro running Android 7.1. The UK 
postcode search is very patchy and usually does not come up with the 
postcode I'm looking for. I downloaded a UK postcodes .obf file (the one 
from Harry van der Wolf), unzipped it & copied it into the 
/data/data/net.osmand/files folder and restarted my phone. I realise that I 
need to search the postcodes as a POI but I'm absolutely stumped about how 
to access them as they don't appear on the POI list. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

New coordinates in new version?

[David]

Does anybody know what the new numbers are that are displayed below the 
lattitude and longitude numbers on de screen that pops up if you long-tap on 
the map. (After you get the big orange placemarker, pull up the info-screen at 
the bottom)
The numbers look like this:
 85864R2G+R6

How to orientate the map during the navigation ?

[David f]

Hello everybody.

I'm facing a problem, i'm sure i can have the possibility to orientate the 
map, to the driving direction when i use the navigation mode, but i can't 
find the proper option in the config menu...

At the moment the map is all the time orientated to the North (i think), 
and never moves (i mean the map's orientation nevers changes, but the map 
is moving/slidding following my GPS position), i would like to have the map 
orientated regarding the actual direction.

Can you please help me to find the right menu/option to activate.

I have the 2.5.3 version.

Thanks in advance.

Hiking / walking trails beyond 500m zoom

[David]

Hi,
I am currently in nepal, and on my map (walking setting) the small roads and 
tracks disappear only when I zoom in from the 2km setting to the 5km setting, 
and I am talking realy small trails (1 foot wide paths between the rice fields, 
amazing someone put them in OSM). From the 5 km setting up they would be 
actualy clutter up the map verry much.

When I say 5 km setting I refer to the measuring line at the bottom of the map 
as I know no other way to identify the zoomfactor.

Re: Uploading my own shapefiles/layer data to OsmAnd

Okay, after some research it appears I can convert my .shp file to a .osm 
using some trickery. 

The followup question I know have is there a way to use the Navigation 
feature with an offline map?

Thank you,

Uploading my own shapefiles/layer data to OsmAnd

[David Ford]

Hi. OsmAnd beginner here. Bear with me.

I was wondering if it was possible to upload my own shapefile/layer data 
into OsmAnd and use it in conjunction with the navigation feature for my 
own personal/offline use? Obviously, I don't think anyone else would care 
about my own Points of Interest so that's why I say I would like only 
myself to be able to use the data and I don't want it to take up 
precious room on the map if no one else uses it *but* it would incredibly 
helpful in the line of work I do. 

Please let me know if OsmAnd can do this and if not, please point me in the 
right direction.

Thank you,
David

Re: request for map view feature

[David]

I agree,I think they (the powers that be/ the programmers) do pay attention, 
usualy good ideas eventualy end up in the program. And I am VERRY happy with 
the way it is improving and improving.
But it looks like this point keeps being missed, it has been dicussed off and 
on for a long time now, might be years, and nothing happens.
Maybe the programmers don't see the problem, well, let me tel you: IT REALY IS 
A PROBLEM.
So if you have some time, please make it so the "Do not zoom" option does NOT 
zoom annymore.
Thanks, and all the best wishes for te new year.

No more red pointer to the waypoint you set :-( did anybody find a workaround?

[David]

A pointer with direction and distance to a "destination" seems like a nice 
thing to me. 
I like to tour around touristicly (bike and car) and chose my route just by 
looking at the nice roads I encounter.
A function like that would help me to keep the route more or less in the rigt 
direction.

request for map view feature

[David]

You got my vote!
The constant re-scaling when the map is not exactly centerred is quite anoying 
and seems to me unnessesary. 
There is even a setting that lets you chose between no zooming and high or low 
automatic zoom, but that does not seem to work.

Re: OsmAnd vector format and rendering

[David Taylor]

That is great. From that I was able to determine that the vector fromat is 
.obf a proprietary format by OsmAnd and it is very compact. 

Would use of the .obf format be restricted to the GPL license associated 
with OsmAnd? 
I need to create a custom business solution that is tailored for a more 
specific use and I can't use anything related to the GPL license. 

If the obf format isn't licensed as GPL then I could create my own obf 
parser and renderer that would work for me.

I found them on the phone. The After.ogg works and the config.p file seems

prepare_turn(Turn, Dist, Street) -- ['after.ogg', D, M, | Sgen]:- distance(
Dist) -- D, turn(Turn, M), turn_street(Street, Sgen).

Osmand 2.4.6 - exporting gpx files via Share

[David Vines]

Hi

I am trying to export my tracks by going to 

Dashboard, My TRacks, and clicking on the 3 dots on the right handside and 
selecting "Share".

The email program opens and I get "unable to attach file"  error.

I don't seem to be able to find the folder on the phone to manually export 
or share them some other way.

How  do Iget these files off the phone ?

I am using Galaxy Note 4 with Android 6

ataching a USB cable to my PC I cant see the tracks folder either

Cheers

David
