As noted, you can create a GPX elsewhere and import it into OsmAnd. But plotting it on OsmAnd itself will result in better turn-by-turn navigation. Here's a video on the subject: https://youtu.be/mMcw4kYmfPk But use OsmAnd's regular plotting feature vie the directions button, the one with

Hey guys I'm new to Osmand and was wondering if it's possible to plan a trip on your laptop and download it to your phone afterwards. Haven't found information about that yet. Or is it only possible directly on the phone, using the "Measure distance" future? Thanks so much for your feedback.
