@Harry's and @limom's description of how OsmAnd handles routes (as opposed
to tracks) was news to me, so I did some experimenting with RouteConverter
using v. 3.3.6--creating one GPX route for roads and a second for hiking
trails, and followed both. Some observations, based on this small
Hi,
I always use RouteConverter to create routes. It can create GPX files
containing tracks, waypoints and routepoints.
https://www.routeconverter.com/home/en
If you create routes only on the points where you need the directions, you
can still save them as track, waypoints or routepoints. OsmAnd
As far as I know the GPX file format contains a list of waypoints
(coordinates), nothing else.
A navigation software uses these waypoints to create a route, depending on
settings. Osmand does it different for cars, bicycle or walking. For cars
it can be set to snap the closest way from point
And just noting that some GPX "routes" generated with mapping software only
contain track points. Routes created on OsmAnd and saved as GPXs contain
both track points that describe the path and route points that describe the
directional turns. (I think I've got that right. Corrections welcome.)
In navigating with a GPX, it would be helpful here to know whether we're
talking about a track (a GPX recorded on a GPS or GPS app) or a route (a
GPX plotted ahead of time and probably less precise). And does "waypoint"
refer to a GPX waypoint, which is part of the GPX? Or to an intermediate
I wonder if the setting about "close to end" announcement is also used for
close to waypoint?

I just downloaded 3.3.6. The Map Marker problem appears fixed. (Talk about
service!)

And if I've made a new route, and "cancel" it, OsmAnd navigates back to the
map marker. I don't know of a setting that would cause this. And you don't
know. And it persists in 3.3.5. I'll put on GitHub. Thanks!

But everything remains the same.

When I set the map maker it is indeed automatically creating a route from
my current position.
But when I enter a new destination it simply calculates a route to the new
destination and no longer uses the map marker.
Same when I cancel the route, select a new destination and request
directions.
@Harry: speaking of bugs, I'd be grateful if you'd try this in the interest
of providing a sanity check:
Set a single map maker near your location.
Press the directions key.
What do you see?
On 3.3.4 on three devices, I automatically start navigating from my current
position to the map
I do not find this setting, where is it?

Thanks Bart,
that's an excellent video to demonstrate what you can do here.

Hi Bart,
Where can I find that? It is not
The video reflects my experience following GPXs with OsmAnd on foot and in a
car. I've never had the problem you describe. I assume under settings you've
disabled "pass along entire track".

In my opinion IT IS Osmands fault, if there is no way to avoid this.
Maybe I drive on a 2-lane highway on the left and I miss the waypoint by 1
meter on the right lane.
It is my mistake?

Exactly this is my problem. What means "close enough". If Osmand would
accept maybe 30 meter for accepting a waypoint the problem would be solved.
Yes, older trackpoints are removed after maybe 30 km. No setting in Osmand
WHEN they are removed?
Looks to me like there can be a solution for
Yes I did continue the road, but following the route downtown was
impossible when Osmand wanted to go back at every side street.
Thanks for the link. This is what I do. I agree with only as many waypoints
as needed. Just so many to keep the desired route.

For going from A to B fast I allways use Google Maps with traffic infos. I
need Osmand only for planed routes (bike/hike).
I checked the video. I do it the same way, but I never had the issue with
the instructions for every turn.
What was the distance between waypoints in this video? To many I

functions are not working for now, but it looks like that will be fixed.)

Maybe I should create the route with more points? Will it ignore the missed

I was happy to find Osmand as a great navigation software. Worked well for
hiking with gpx tracks.
But using tracks for the motorbike is a hassle. If I miss for several
reasons a waypoint, it wants me allways to make a U-turn.
Is there any solution that a waypoint can be ignored?
Or maybe
