Re: How to show latitude grid

If you really want a visible grid and not just a way of checking coordinates, an easy way to cheat is to make a GPX file with tracks where you want the grid lines. I did that for reports for our county's Breeding Bird Atlas, where reports were by grid square so you need to be able to see the

I have a new phone, and when walking through OsmAnd settings on my old phone, I noticed "Auto-backup", which says it backs up favorites, map tokens and settings to restore them on new devices. (It's enabled.) That sounds perfect -- but I can't find anything explaining how to use it. Poking

How are OsmAnd Live edits determined?

Seeing this over 1000m may be just a coincidence. I use OsmAnd to log hikes ranging from 1500m (the lowest elevation you can find near here) to over 3000m. Is it possible that there's more thick tree cover when you're in the mountains? I used to have an older (Garmin) GPS that had a very

Own overlay map: controlling zoom

I'm struggling to figure out OsmAnd zoom levels, to know what zoom levels I should include when making overlay maps. I haven't found anything written on zoom levels so I'm trying to reverse engineer. Basically, my questions are: 1. How do I find out OsmAnd's numeric zoom levels? 2. How should I

Colleges and Universities

Is there a way to show colleges and universities? They can be important landmarks when navigating a city. For instance, St. John's College in Santa Fe, NM is marked on the web version of OpenStreetMap, but I can't find any way to get OsmAnd to show it. It shows a big yellow area that seems to

Opening GPX via "Content URI"

Problems with splitting track logs

With a recent update, OsmAnd has started splitting my recorded track logs into separate segments. For instance, when I go on a hike and we stop for lunch, or if we hang around in one area for a while, when I upload the GPX afterward it will have two or three different segments. This seemed like a
