This might be a workaround (but not the equivalent) for the lack of a route alarm: Create a route in OsmAnd. Save it to a GPX. Start navigation using the GPX In directions/settings, make sure "Pass along entire track" is unchecked If you leave the route as dictated by the GPX, I think this

Turn by turn instructions are not helped by the fact that Osmand disabled the off route alarm feature. If you miss a turn Osmand will never use the option of stopping and going back to get on route ( even using when using Osmands native navigation feature) Instead the app calculates a new

@Osmandtrier I agree that it isn't an OsmAnd problem. It is my ignorance of how OsmAnd generates voice commands. It's been awhile, but as I recall, most missed turns occurred when the roadway forked, like at a freeway interchange. I couldn't see far enough ahead on the screen to figure out

It could be, that is not a problem of ossmand. It ccould be a problem of your track. If Osmand add voice hints to a gpx-track, Osmand do not refer to the streets. It only refer to the change of the angle of the track. For example. The blacklines are the streets, the red line is the gpx track.

@Bart Thanks. The example I shared was the "optimum" route generated by Google Maps so it pretty much conforms with the OsmAnd generated route. The maps I create are extremely customized, i.e. Route 66 (1926), Lincoln Highway, etc. These maps all demonstrate "voice" capability but it doesn't

@Bart, the amazing OSMAND how-to you've created is really underappreciated. The detailed knowledge and great use of graphics with voice over amaze me. You should have many more views and subscribers for such an excellent tutorial. I agree that planning a route on the phone pales in comparison

Right: GPXs created in OsmAnd provide proper turn-by-turn navigation in OsmAnd. The function is part of the route details screen, as shown here: https://youtu.be/o84C0z3Kydc?t=563 But other than using BRouter (which I've not yet tried), I haven't heard of an externally-created GPX that can do the

What I discovered a few months ago is that a GPX track created with the Osmand app itself will provide turns with street names! That's a very cool feature. LMK if you need details. On Tue, Dec 4, 2018, 11:33 AM Charles Buono I'd be happy to share, but I don't know how > > On Tuesday,

I don't have an answer, but I'm impressed you are able to get street-by-street directions. For externally-created GPXs, most reports here describe a situation where OsmAnd follows the GPX, but not the underlying map. Which means that every twist in the road is announced generically as a turn.

Does the voice guidance name what streets and highways to turn on? Or are the directions generic: i.e., turn left, turn right? On Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 8:56:38 AM UTC-8, Charles Buono wrote: > > I create maps to use on long-distance motorcycle trips. I create the route > in Google My
