OsmAnd is telling me to make a turn on a road that does not exist. How can I tell the app to ignore this turn and also report it so that it does not recommend it to other users too?
I first found osmand about 5 years ago and loved it but found it to be so Laggy when being used as a sat nav for driving so I shelved it.
5 years later I thought I'd give it another go, but To my disappointed it still seems to be one scat behind.
I've tried all the usual fixes like turning off animating position and kalman filter but I'm still a good 20 yards behind my actual position which makes it difficult to navigate at speed. It seems to catch up on rest, but it feels like you are being pulled along by a rubber band.
Such a shame as the routing is by far the best, better than most dedicated satnavs and the shear amount of options means I can dial in just the right settings for me.
I know it's not the main intended use for osmand but such a shame as it could be the best out there in my opinion!
A month ago I posted about lidar2map, a free open-source tool (GPL) that
turns public LiDAR data into offline relief maps for OsmAnd. Back then it
only covered France. Quick update, since the coverage is now 30+ official
sources in 20+ countries:
- Germany: Bavaria, NRW, Lower Saxony, Thuringia (1 m)
- Austria: Tyrol and East Tyrol (0.5 m)
- Switzerland, Czechia, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium (Flanders)
- UK (England, Scotland, Wales) and Ireland
- Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Slovenia, Spain
- US (3DEP), Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand
You pick a town or a bounding box, the tool downloads the official national
LiDAR tiles and computes visualizations that reveal micro-terrain invisible
on satellite or standard maps: old paths, terraces, earthworks, drainage,
charcoal kilns. Output is a .sqlitedb or MBTiles file you drop into OsmAnd
and use fully offline in the field.
Also new since the first post: a small GUI (no command line needed),
presets that auto-tune the visualization to each source's resolution, and
a compressed tile cache (about half the disk space).
Free, GPL, Windows/macOS/Linux: https://github.com/nico579/lidar2map/releases
If you try it on your country's data, feedback is very welcome, especially
on how the maps render in OsmAnd in the field.
Why does OSM lock me out of using the app?
I downloaded all of Europe last year. But now it won’t let me use local roads sometimes. Only highways.
I’s not like the roads don't exist anymore. No one cares if it’s not 100% accurate. There are always redirection road signs. Just let me use the navigation…
*I’m not talking about importing OsmAnd’s favourites into Comaps*
Hello!
I’m using both OsmAnd and Comaps for different purposes. I usually use Comaps more, but I find that OsmAnd’s favourites management is (currently) better than Comaps, so I tend to add favourites in OsmAnd, not Comaps.
I know you can import OsmAnd’s favourites into Comaps, but that a manual process that needs to be done everytime I change favourites in OsmAnds.
Is there a way to display OsmAnd’s favourites in Comaps without importing them?
When I want to get from place A to B in a city, I would much rather prefer to use a dedicated footpath. Walking on the sidewalks next to a road tends to be louder, with cars whizzing past you. The sidewalk also tends to be narrower. Of course if there isn't a footpath available, using a road with sidewalks is fine. I am just interested if I could make the app prefer using these dedicated footpaths over sidewalks and roads.
I'm having a problem where the POIs (see image) can't be removed, making the map unreadable at a certain zoom level. I've already tried different profiles, but it makes no difference. I can't find a solution using AI either. All POIs are disabled, including the Wikipedia module. OsmAnd version: 5.3.10, phone: Galaxy XCover 6 Pro, also running the latest OS. The screenshots are in German but you should be able to guess the settings names (Sorry, it doesn't take my other two pictures...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or has anyone else experienced this problem?
