I occasionally use Osmand for hiking and was originally staggered by the
battery drain even screen off. However I didn't use it to navigate, just to
check my position now and then. I discovered that returning to the home screen
before turning the screen off made a major reduction in power use.
I find that using a Brouter app generated route with turn by turn
instructions one gets a lot of commands many of which are unnecessary. That
cant do the battery life any good.

Yes, especially on devices using organic LED displays like Samsung devices.

I use Osmand for turn-by-turn instructions when cycling. Every now and again I
turn on the screen. Does Osmand use less battery in night mode ( with its
darker colours)

Unless you turn off the phone (i.e., "shutdown") the battery is being
drained. [1] What changes is the amount of drain that

I agree with Per Pujal.
If you turn off all unwanted aps, and BlueTooth and Wifi, and particularly
turn off the screen, you may me able to run GPS and Osmand all day. I
achieved it last summer during a 14-day cycle tour, albeit I was using the
(then available) automatic-screen-On/Off
Note that everything the phone does drains battery, more or less.
You could see the battery usage per app in the configuration settings of the
battery, then with some common sense and some try/error you could try to
improve your battery life by disabling some apps or services that you don't
As a"tech challenged" individual I thank you for your reply! So just because
the screen is off the GPS is still at work and the app needs to be closed for
the GPS to be off.

Yes of course. It has to process the GPS signal and update its position.
But, on any smartphone the screen consumes much more battery.

We are currently cycling across Europe. I use Osmand at different times during
the day while my wife has a Garmin on her bike.
If I leave Osmand loaded and turn the screen off,not turning off the phone,
will it still drain the battery?
Thanks!
