What is Reddit's opinion of
OsmAnd?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ OsmAnd website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
> On mobile Firefox if you search thru Google for a address you cant click the link to the address take you to Google maps and continue from there.
That is why I have ceased using Google Maps. For navigation now I use OSMAnd. I especially like the fact the maps can be offline as it means I never miss a bit when driving through poor service areas.
I would stick with Linux options, and make your USB drive a bootable distro.
That way you can stick it into pretty much any computer, it'll boot into your thumbdrive, and you don't have to worry about the computer's HDD still working.
To that end, there are TONS of how-tos on using OpenStreetMap offline. It's even in the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OpenStreetMap_offline
Personally, I use Osmand (Which stands for OpenStreetMap Android) on my phone. Works great. But I know that's not what you're looking for.
Falls es unterwegs noch hackt, in Osmand kann man nach Stichwort "Fahrradschlauch" suchen. Gratisversion reicht dafür locker. Paar Automaten waren ~10km weg , das könnte die zweite Person mit funktionierendem Rad eben holen
Und ein paar sind eh fast am Weg, falls ein temporärer flicken drauf ist nur kann da noch einer mitgenommen werden
Don't give up on Open Street Map. Once you get used to setting your beginning and end locations, it has a lot of info (side trips, walks, bike paths, ...). It may feel counterintuitive at first, but soon gets easier. Look at a video tutorial or two.

I use the "Avoid Roads" feature and the "Intermediate destination" feature for that. I sometimes add 2+ intermediate destinations to avoid a certain road.

At the current moment, I can use any apps just like normal, even Google Maps, which unfortunately I have to use since there is no better FOSS alternative. I live in a highly traffic area, and I need good live traffic navigation. MAPS.ME has live traffic but it doesn't give me a good ETA nor routing personally. OsmAnd+ is great, but needs live traffic.
Short answer: no
Long answer: OpenStreetMap is just map data. If you want/need routing you'll have to use a service like GraphHopper or OSRM. Or write your own (like OsmAnd).
As u/lel31 said, you can add POI (locations) from within the app. See https://osmand.net/features/osm-editing-plugin for more details. A nice way to contribute data is also the app StreetComplete : it will ask you all sorts of questions about mapped objects, to increase the level of detail. You can swicht off topics if they don't interest you. A nice way to add highly detailed thematic data is https://mapcomplete.osm.be , where you can add now POI or add detail in several specific topics. You can add all the topics you like to your home screen, so you can add a new thing very fast. All this data can then be used to make OsmAnd even better. Happy mapping! (note that you will need to refresh your map data to see the improvements you made!)
I use OpenStreetMaps (or whatever flavor of it) and there are drinking fountains marked on them.
Check out Organic Maps or OsmAnd or Openstreetmap
As an avid cyclist, it has helped me when I run dry and need to find a water source.
In a lot of use-cases it's vastly superior to gmaps. Biking for example or if you need house numbers or geocaching etc. plus you have a lot of control over which maps you use you can even combine maps.
It looks like geo: URIs are not detected as URIs in Signal for example, and Google Maps will not likely register an intent for https://osmand.net/go URLs.
So i don't think you can directly send from OSMAnd a link to GMaps.
You could generate a Google Maps link yourself before sharing it to your friends, like with this tool.
I recommend installing OsmAnd for mobile and using the openrailwaymay layer. It's much more responsive than openrailwaymap.org and you can discover abandoned railroads while you're driving around.
No problems, It's a really nice trail. It's split into a south and north section by the dam, there's no way to get to one from the other without driving. The south section parking lot is here: Parking Boston Post Road, US 6 Location: geo:41.74764,-72.16398?z=18 https://osmand.net/go?lat=41.74764&lon=-72.16398&z=18
and the Northern Section parking is here: Parking Mansfield Hollow Road Location: geo:41.75685,-72.18246?z=17 https://osmand.net/go?lat=41.75685&lon=-72.18246&z=17
Any app that uses OpenStreetMap data. OSMand is one of them, BBBike and Komoot also use OSM data I believe.
Open Street Maps lives by its contributions. You can correct street quality within the app if you find something not matching reality.
I have been using this for 6 years now and subscribe to it as well for latest updated but its not even close to Google Maps. Being said that its definitely in second position and all others are crap.
You can download the whole planet using OsmAnd for example. It works fully offline (or online if you want).
There is also a dedicated article about that on the wiki.
Ok guys I wanted to share this, but I'm afraid a new post would be deleted/flagged/whatever. Feel free to share and get upvotes.
Anyway, it's about app for the phone to use when bikeriding. So far, I think RideWithGPS is probably the best, unfortunately their pricing model is quite steep (at least for me).
I have been using OsmAnd (OpenStreetmap Android, although there's also a version for iOS) for a while, and it's a great app and you can use voice turn-by-turn directions for free.
One note I wanted to share: the latest version (3.3 released just last month) have removed a very useful feature for cycling: the ability to turn on the screen of your phone for a configurable time (10, 15, 30... secs) when approaching a turn point. It's a fantastic feature that AFAIK is not available even in RideWithGPS. Apparently this feature requires some special permissions that don't get along well with Google policies (admin the device I believe). As result, they remove this important feature from their latest release (thank you Google!).
If you have an older version (3.2 and older), you are probably good, just remember to SKIP updates for this app (until the issue is resolved... follow their or their tickets on github). Otherwise, uninstall it, and download the .apk from their download page (osmand.net/downloads) and manually install it (if you don't know how to manually install an app, google it). If you have problems after downgrading it, clear the cache and/or restart your phone.
​
I believe Adventure Cycling offers their maps in "GPX" format for download when you buy them. Those GPX files can by imported by OsmAnd (https://osmand.net/help/faq.html#importing_gpx), and many other offline GPS maps too.
I can highly recommend OsmAnd. It's open source and uses OpenStreetMaps as map source and you can download offline maps or use online ones. Have been using it for a while now without problems.
Maybe instead of Google Maps, check out the open-source, offline, OpenStreetMap-driven alternatives like OsmAnd and MAPS.ME.

Are you looking for a Google Maps client only or an équivalent? OSMand+ and Magic Earth are very good alternatives and the two apps can do offline navigation, and Magic Earth as trafic functions too.
You can get the locations from the BeatTheStreet Map.
Even more useful you can get a GeoJSON file of the coordinates from here, convert to GPX, add to your mobile navigation device such as OSMAnd and get directions to the various Bears.
My daughters year at school all painted feathers that have been pasted onto one of the bears, need to work out where that one is (it was at their school before being sent out into the city).
I had the same problem and thought it was battery saving. In the end it was a setting called "Minimum accuracy" inside the "Trip recording" plugin. If the GPS signal doesn't have enough accuracy, it will stop recording those points. More info here
You mean Pollokshields West/East? That's not Govanhill. Or do you mean Queens Park? Which many call Govanhill.
Either way, you are close to the exchange here.
If it were me (and it isn't) I'd get a decent ISP and switch to the cheapest mobile tariff I could (I'm £7.50 on GiffGaff and still paying for more than I use).

How OSM Live works
- Every OSM contributor can be registered as a recipient. He just need to provide a valid Bitcoin address in the form below.
- Every OsmAnd user who wants to get live updates needs to subscribe to that service.
- After Google and Bank deductions the whole sum is split into 2 parts (50% OsmAnd and 50% Donations)
- All donations are exchanged into Bitcoin and distributed between OSM contributors according to their ranking.
- Every OsmAnd user can select preferred donation region, in that case 50% of donation will be distributed between editors of this region.
OsmAnd+ is a full version of OsmAnd. It provides you with:
Unlimited map downloads Map updates one time at a month (at first dates of a month) Wikipedia and WikiVoyage articles available offline
Please note:
- You can buy OsmAnd+ as a separate app on Google Play.
- You can buy OsmAnd as an in-app purchase named 'OsmAnd Unlimited' from the free version of OsmAnd.
- 'OsmAnd Unlimited' = OsmAnd+
Hello.
It wasn't possible to activate the map by pressing the power button.
But now you can use "turn screen on", read more here https://osmand.net/blog/osmand-3-4-released
> OSM is an unrewarding hobby.
I find it quite rewarding knowing I'm contributing to a valuable resource that is open and unbiased (unlike Google Maps or other walled sites like TripAdvisor). There are certainly worse ways to kill free time.
The OsmAnd Live application also has the potential for users to earn Bitcoin (whether they are of value is another issue!).
Personally I use StreetComplete to help fill in gaps and occasionally add details of places to climb to maps.
We deleted OSRM service for navigation. Now we use only offline and straight line service for calculation. There were bugs with OSRM, and OSRM is not OsmAnd service. We have the plan to find and use one of online service in the future.
Now you can use old version. You should write to [email protected] for getting link to old version of OsmAnd+. If you use OsmAnd Free you will download old version here (version 3.2 and less)
its mobile so your gonna need your mobile device and battery power.
https://osmand.net/ application for android and apple devices will let you download vector maps of alberta for offline viewing. if you pay you can get some extra perks and if you pay for add ons you can buy the one for contour lines to show up plus you can also download wikipedia entries per province that have gps locations associated with them for points of interest along the route.
ive used it for hiking in alberta since most maps on the province parks webpage have crappy maps of the pathways.
the main map source it uses is https://www.openstreetmap.org/ for the maps it downloads.
if you want paper walk into https://www.maptown.com/Default.asp and talk to them tell them what you are after.
> I get honked at and flipped off when I drive the limit here.
I call bullshit. I drive the rule and that just doesn't happen to me. Heck, a decent amount of the time, I'm going slower than the limit on a lot of the boulevards (no point in pulling a jackrabbit move if I can see the next light's red, then just speed up to 20 or 30 MPH and then let it glide). Heck, I'm on a bicycle a lot and even then, it's so rare I honestly can't single out the last time it happened.
Something else you're doing is causing people to flip you off.
> And if I drive the limit on the BA, I am never permitted to change lanes.
I'm in BA regularly, it's easier to change lanes there than it is in Tulsa. Set your side mirrors to SAE recommendations and signal when you start thinking about getting over, not when you're about to get over, then move over when you either get a gap or someone waves you over. Same as what works when you gotta change lanes on a bicycle works when you gotta change lanes in a car.
One strategy to employ is to use a good navigation program (not a yellow pages replacement like Google or Waze; a good one, like Osmand or Magic Earth that puts navigation and not business listings, a forethought) since this will take turn restrictions (including weird ones like "No through except bicycles") and lane changes into account (Google will tell you what lane you need to be in, but doesn't use any logic to try to work out if that's even something you can reasonably or legally do, for example). That way if I can't get over for some reason, I can worry about what I'm doing and what traffic's doing and keep shit moving while the machine works out how to get me there.
Ik heb dit een tijdje geleden uitgezocht, met als extra eis dat ik off-line kaarten wilde hebben.
De enige optie die daarvoor is, is de app OsmAnd. Die werkt op zich prima, maar de UI is soms wat onhandig. Je kunt er dus ook routes mee rijden, maar er zitten wel wat haken en ogen aan.
Met de verkeerde instelling stuurt hij je steeds weer terug naar het beginpunt zodra hij de route kwijt is. Bij een route vertelt hij niet wanneer je een afslag moet nemen, maar wanneer je een bocht maakt. "Over 300m rechtsaf" kan dus betekenen dat je de volgende rotonde rechtdoor moet, en dat daarna de weg naar rechts draait... Niet ideaal met alleen oortjes.
Je kunt trouwens ook beugels kopen om je mobiel vast te houden op het stuur, RAM mounts is een bekende. Dan kun je dus wel eea zien van je navigatieapp.

Bin aber nicht sicher, ob Du da fündig wirst. Falls ja, sag mal bescheid :)
OSMAnd has offline maps you can download to use when offline. Not for just emergency situations, but for places that don't have cell coverage. I use it for hiking and biking. It's an open source version of Google Maps without the evil tracking. If you have enough storage you can download entire state roads system plus detailed trails and paths.
Using OSM [(OpenStreetMaps)]() editing tools you can ensure your maps have stores, houses, waypoints, POIs, etc that you need yourself and others to see on the maps.
But, also, printed USGS maps are handy too.
check out open street map!
often shows public available footpaths that google or apple maps will have no idea they exist.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
if you have android smart phone, there is an app for that, using all offilne downloaded maps, no data connection required.
That's a little more difficult, I admit! I traveled the service road for the first 10mi or so, camped out, when I returned the next day I found all the PNWT signs leading me down the correct paths (didn't find one of them the day before!). This is all to be expected if you go for hikes on the PNWT, I suggest the maps from pnt.org, but they're by no means perfect and I suggest a good offline map app (such as Osmand) to make sure you make it back. Many of the off service road trails I took (the actual PNWT trails) are not well maintained, but the serenity of being able to get away was more than I needed to get me to go back next year. The honest real downside of these trails are this area was a seriously logged and abused area at some point so there are definitely some depressing parts (but the views of other areas help make up for it). I'm happy to share the gpx of my travels that day, if that's your thing.
Shout out to OSMand, the Open Street Maps client for android.
OSMand actually does routing on the device, which sucks in terms of processing power because google's cloud can route you from point A to point B without breaking sweat, but is awesome when you are lost somewhere with no data connectivity and just need to find your way to civilization.
Usen Wikiloc versión web, les permite descargar el archivo de la ruta. Luego lo pasan a su celular, instalan la app de OsmAnd y abren el archivo de la ruta desde su celular para importarlo a OsmAnd y listo.
Así es como yo hago mis paseos de senderismo.
Puntos extras si bajan los mapas offline, sea de todo el país o solamente Nuevo León
I'm currently in the process of evaluating: 1. OsmAnd 2. [Organic Maps]https://organicmaps.app/) 3. Sygic - Not open source, and perhaps not privacy-respecting either but it's polish/feature-set seems to rival/surpass Google Maps.
There may be other good ones that I'm unaware of, but this is my short-list.
With regards to point-of-interest searching/reviews, I've heard that some people in the privacy community just resort to Google/Yelp for that information when there is a lack of accurate/fresh info in OsmAnd or Organic Maps. They get that info out-of-band, and then navigate back in OsmAnd or Organic Maps. Slightly less convenient but that's the price of privacy I suppose.
Google and Yelp are the POI databases that I know that most business/organization owners and users care to update which makes them the freshest and most accurate, for now. I think there should be an effort to popularize the user of open source POI data.
Goolag maps download became restrictive here with the latest updates to the app, you can only get up to three cities downloaded. If you want to store anything outside, you need access to internet.
I suggest OsmAnd app instead, you can get the whole map of México offline with no restrictions https://osmand.net/
But as those are different apps, start keeping both installed and use both just to get the most useful information for you.
Anscheinend geht ganz frisch OsmAnd auch per Android Auto. Habe keine Erfahrung mit Android Auto aber OsmAnd finde ich Klasse als Offline-Navigation per Fußbus, Fahrrad und auch separat fürs Auto. Hat Addressen in Käffern gefunden, die Maps nicht kennen und im Kaff sich selbst auch gar nicht mehr finden wollte.
Nachteil halt: Keine Stauinformation, da offline. Maximal über Umwege mit Overlays.
Another vote here for an alternative to Android Auto / Apple Carplay. I'd heard of Mirrorlink but never actually seen a car with it, though it seems fairly well supported. Let down by the lack of apps that support it. If it supported something like Osmand for navigation, and perhaps Plex or Jellyfin for music, I'd be there!
This sounds to me like slightly abusing the routing feature, e.g. not tell the user "go left in 300m" but "look at this nice viewpoint coming up". This can absolutely be done with OSM data, and I suggest you look at different routing engines and try to adapt them. If I would want to do this, I'd start with looking at the open-source code of OsmAnd, which is available on GitHub: https://github.com/osmandapp/
They even provide a sample app which "represents a possiblity to built an application on top of OsmAnd core": https://osmand.net/build_it
Using the tools others suggest as a starting point/motivation. Then https://gpx.studio/ to make my own route, then uploading to https://osmand.net/ app for offline and better than google maps bike / hiking trails.
I am not sure, i am moving towards a town called gourdon now, well actually passing by on top of it, via gréolières. I think this was probably the exact spot, but the herbs were all over that mountain.
Search for places by address, by type (e.g.: restaurant, hotel, gas station, museum), or by geographical coordinates"
This page shows how to do it on Android and iOS:
https://osmand.net/features/find-something-on-map#Find\_by\_address\_A
OpenTracks (https://opentracksapp.com/). Pair it with OsmAnd (https://osmand.net/). Used to put emphasis on improving PRs when running in the past, but now I no longer try to overexert and focus more on consistency.
There is also the map legend here: https://osmand.net/help-online/map-legend
It could be the track types. Or some are footways and others are paths
If you mean something different, I suggest you post a link to an image or to some coordinates. I have myself sometimes a lot of trouble to find a correct legend
Have you done anything with Lightning Launcher's bindings? There are bindings for Item Properties of Visibility (and Transparency) and Clickable (and Z-Index), you should be able to assign them to variables and use the Tasker Action of plugin Lightning Launcher type "Lightning Variable" as needed.
Personally, I do something like this for something else:
- I have two shortcuts for OsmAnd, each has a binding of Label as
$OsmAndLabelText - When I update OsmAnd from a nightly build, I do a Test App, Variable Split, Variable Section, and Run Shell to get the date and build number into a variable, then use the Lightning Variable action: [ Variable name (without $)

Bitch, I drew the map! Granted, mostly so I can outsource navigation to my phone whether or not I have signal and focus on traffic when I'm cycling or driving.
You can do this with OsmAnd. It's what I always use when following a GPX track for cycling, running, or hiking in e.g. the mountains.
You can give the free version a try, it has exactly the same features as the paid one, except that you can only download maps 10 times (if I remember correctly). Apparently it's -50% right now, so good time to grab a deal :). Note that I'm not affiliated in any way, just a very happy user for >5 years. It's saved my ass in the mountains more than once when I got wildly off track.
Anyway, how to show POI along your route is explained here: https://osmand.net/features/navigation#How\_to\_view\_POI\_along\_the\_road
For iOS check this and for android this.
I just noticed myslef this works different on iOS and Android. But I don't use either of them, I just take a photo of bikeracks or save it as a favorite with notes and edit later on PC.
Load this on an android tablet, iPad or old phone(android or iPhone).
Download the states you need right to the device, update over WiFi or over your hotspot if you have the data. I’ve been using it for years on my phone for hiking as well since you can load topographic and other maps if you want.
I would say Öffi's biggest UI weakness is how it displays the map. But as far as I know, if the data is usable for Öffi, it can be usable for all other open source apps too, like Transportr and OSMAnd.
So, I think it makes sense for your project to collect the data and provide them as a stream that more than one app can use.
i do this but as mentioned in my previous post i think it's a bit overkill for most users what i do and the amount of data i need.
I think the most convenient way for a standard user not doing long time/distance travels is to create styles and maps in mapbox, use it as an Osmand online source and download the areas of interest in osmand. This is also possible with the Microsoft Earth/Hybrid map already in Osmand as an online resource if you dont want to get into customizing map layouts via mapbox. You can use this as an overlay out of the box and switch with the "opacity slider" between your OSM Data and the sat image.
Come mai OpenStreetMap per Android (https://osmand.net/) non è mai citato in questi confronti? Penso anzi che il layer base della cartografia del progetto OpenStreetMap sia alla base di molte applicazioni/portali terzi che ci si appoggiano.
Permette di scaricare le mappe offline, ha plugin integrati per registrare la mappa GPS, recentemente stanno lavorando molto anche alle integrazioni con gli orari dei mezzi pubblici...
​
Mi ricordo anche che in un video di naso dove mostrava un sito per stampare le cartine, si vedeva chiaramente che sotto usava il layer di mappe del progetto OpenStreetMap.
​
Ecco forse la funzione che proprio gli manca è un DB con altri percorsi di altre persone...
Try using OsmAnd with:
- offline maps
- contour lines
- topo profile (see example map rendering here)
and you'll get something similar to ARKOD.
This summer I used osmAND map app (https://osmand.net/) that allows you to download the maps ahead of time. You then put your phone in battery saver mode and airplane mode. Only the GPS will be operational. It saves a lot of battery that way. The power bank i used allowed for like 20 charges for the phone and the phone always on with the map lasted an entire day (you could turn the screen off during parts where you dont need to make a lot of turns). my panels fit on the rear bike bags and got full sun all day most of the time. But I mostly would often charge the powerbank when I stayed at a place (is used trustroots.org to find lodging sometimes)
"The SQLIte format used in OsmAnd is based on the "BigPlanet" SQLite as supported by MOBAC. In OsmAnd we add a number of tables extending the format: "
https://osmand.net/help-online/technical-articles#OsmAnd_SQLite_Spec
You can also try downloading the OsmAnd app onto your personal phone or a burner device. Set it to continuously track and save your GPS route while you deliver. Then you can go back and look at each individual point along the saved tracks and see the location and MPH at each one. You can use this to confirm your travel speed while reversing.
Try downloading the free Open Street Map app OsmAnd (https://osmand.net/). You can track and log your own routes and it can help you navigate when your Flex app navigation craps out.
> Google maps er den ene tjenesten hvor jeg ikke klarer å finne noe fullgodt alternativ.
OpenStreetMap vil jeg si er bedre enn Google Maps nesten overalt (unntaket måtte være glissent befolkede steder i den tredje verden). En telefon-navigeringsapp basert på OSM jeg kan anbefale er OsmAnd+. I motsetning til det navnet antyder, er den tilgjengelig på begge sider i duopoliet.
Downloads maps from OpenStreetMap for pretty much anywhere in the world, options for offline and online routing and directions (for cycling, walking, & driving), paid options for more up to date maps, and more.
Not the most slick interface, but lots of features.
Yes!! It's FOSS and on F-Droid, as well as mainstream stores. https://osmand.net/
Like I say though it's clunky as hell. It takes a while to get your head around everything, you have to configure it all, hell I haven't configured much of it. But when I've been out trying to find solar farms it's been better than Google sometimes - I literally zoom in and see all the infrastructure, without having to go to satellite.
You have to download maps, and they take up a lot of space. You can configure it for online tiles but you have to dig into settings, and even then it loads much slower than Google Maps. Even when you have the maps downloaded it's slow, though I think that's mostly to do with the amount of content.
It's shit for postal/zip codes though.
>I'm surprised that there is no automatic feature that not just ban all pedestrian and bikes on highway=motorway. I doubt there would ever be an exception to this rule, even in the most dense urban areas.

We did come across a "community garden" when walking towards Linn Park yesterday (here). Maybe there's an official scheme to "adopt" an unused area?
I want to switch from German to English in my preferred language, but I absolutely cannot find the setting? According to the OSMand help, it should be in in this screenshot. But it isn't?
I seem to have the newest app version (no update offered).
Help very welcome, it's driving me a bit crazy :)
I am not aware of any specific devices catered to runners, but I have used OsmAnd+ in the past to log outdoor activities. It's open source, and if you still are uneasy you can just deny it data connectivity in settings and load maps through a USB connection.

Kind regards,
OsmAnd team
Update: I found this plugin tutorial but could not figure out how buttons were invoking actions like in the osm-editing-plugin. Any idea where the plugin development is happening, perhaps over at the GitHub as well? Thank you in advance.
We release various versions of the application:
The free version allows you to make up to 7 installations / updates of maps.
OsmAnd + / OsmAnd Unlimited are full versions of the application. They are identical in functionality, but OsmAnd + is a separate paid application that can be shared with other accounts using the Google Play Family Share service. In the meantime, OsmAnd Unlimited can only be activated in the free version of the application and this version cannot be shared. These versions of the application provide:
Unlimited map downloads
Monthly map updates (in the first days of each month)
Wikipedia and WikiVoyage articles available offline
It is important to note that the plug-ins of the contour lines and sea depths are not included the functionality of these versions, however, they can be purchased separately.
​
A monthly OsmAnd Live subscription is also available, which includes all the possible OsmAnd functionality and additionally the ability to update maps up to once per hour automatically.
More about the different versions and features of the application can be found here: https://osmand.net/en/features/osmand_purchases.
OsmAnd+ and OsmAnd unlimited (in-app of OsmAnd Free):
Unlimited map downloads
- Map updates one time at a month (at first dates of a month)
- Wikipedia and WikiVoyage articles available offline
openpoimap.org is one attempt to make such a thing, but I'm not sure it's massively maintained these days.
I normally browse POIs in this way via OSMand, which works pretty well on the mobile.
We use a bike computer (Wahoo ELEMNT BOLT), so don't actually have a good answer for an app to use. From a brief Google, it looks like OsmAnd might fit the bill?
Do let us know how you get on and we can write some proper guidance for others on the site. We're at [email protected].
OsmAnd (https://osmand.net/) has a default search filter already created for charging stations. All the user needs to do is refine that filter by setting the payment type to bitcoin using 3 taps. The wall unit operator would need to list their charging station in open street maps using the same methods as they normally would, and then set "payment:bitcoin=yes" like any other business normally does to indicate that they accept bitcoin. That is my preferred method.
I would like to see a web interface to open street maps that does the same filtering of open street maps as OsmAnd does. OsmAnd is pretty awesome (for way more than just finding charging stations), but a phone is no match for a 30 inch monitor's productivity.
Plugshare is definitely a decent website, but I just like the idea of having charging stations listed in open street maps better because anyone can pull from the data and filter and present it in all kinds of ways.
It will take time to reduce the cost of the payment module to 30$-40$, but I think it could be done (maybe a little higher). For now, I'd like people to just test with a laptop or raspberry pi. Initial users should be tinkerers who want to help enhance the software's capabilities, so they'll need a more capable computer to do testing and debugging with!
Will definitely be following up with hardware details as well as more complete installation instructions. The install might get a little simpler with ubuntu 20.04 (I'm currently running version 18.04), but I haven't had time to work with that release yet. Please be patient while I get time to put all of this together.
I started out with Scenic on my iPhone: https://scenicapp.space/
Bought an older Android phone to use this app: https://osmand.net/
Following the instructions from this forum: https://advrider.com/f/threads/ultra-rugged-kyocera-phones-gps-smartphones-my-guide.1206076/unread
Very pleased with the performance.
I am using OsmAnd for almost 7 years now and I have found that with the appropriate adjustments the map can be very clean and easy to read. The application itself is extremely powerful, it uses OpenStreetMap, and I think that if you give it a little time and adjust it properly you'll never search for another app. I'm also using a Samsung Galaxy but an older one (the 7) and the app still runs perfectly. The app is free if you don't need more than 10 maps /downloads (each country counts as a download) and if you want unlimited downloads the price is really really low. Something like $15 (paid once not monthly or yearly). I bought it on a sale for something like $5. They have a sale every once in a while. You can check the app's features here https://osmand.net/features I'm not getting paid from them, I'm just so satisfied that I always recommend it when someone asks. It helped me navigate through Europe, across Africa and around South America twice. I hope it is the app you're searching for 🙂

The Osmand app is great for handling this and there's a lot, lot of OpenStreetMap contributors in the area helping make sure things stay highly accurate.
hi,
please, check your parameters of "Follow trip"
https://osmand.net/features/navigation#Save_navigation_route_GPX_file_iOS
maybe, there is a problem with "Calculate OsmAnd route for first and last route segment" or something else of this. Would you change it and calculate again your trip using GPX-track.
OP should be aware of the yield signs on the eastbound and the westbound sides. You may have to stop before you can go, these get installed at dangerous ramps, because there is no room to merge. Same as every other yield sign ever. And the speed limit's 60 through there, so trying to justify running a traffic control because they're trying to avoid traffic moving illegally fast is just not something that holds water; you're actually reinforcing the need for traffic control at that location.
If you can't hang with that, get a better GPS app that lets you mark ramps as off limits (Osmand will do this), and let your app help you avoid entering the highway at those ramps.
If you are using OsmAnd (Open Street Map based) you can have different categories for your favorites that show up with different color stars on the map. I usually have Hotels, Sights and Restaurants, and you could easily add another category for low priority sights.
Google Maps has something similar but not as good.
OSM is usually on par with commercial maps, but not always. On rare occasions it has even been better though.
Another bonus for OSM is that there are no geo restrictions. It has offline maps where google does not, and it has navigation where google does not allow it.
That's gonna be a custom rendering to make the map look different.
I wanted the same thing. I played around a little, but lost interest and gave up.

Open Street Map data, downloaded by state for available offline, with hill-shading and TOPO addons for $1.50. https://osmand.net/

Works across the state line being Open Street Map.
This border issue is a massive problem with QLD/NSW maps. The NSW MapServer gives low detail contour lines going into QLD but the QLD MapServer drops a lot of detail at the border.
If you're operating on the border it makes it really hard to get any kind of reliable topo information in all directions.
I came up with a rather complex solution using https://mapproxy.org/ to merge multiple MapServer results. It has a feature which allows a ShapeFile to be used as an authentication thingy which can blank out the low-res part of each map along the border, showing both the NSW and QLD maps right up to the line.
Still doesn't mean their contour lines match though. For that you need to either just use Open Street Map or redo the contour line generation using DEM data (Elevation Model).
Also you might be interested in some of the topics on /r/searchandrescue about apps people use for coordinating teams in limited connectivity.
I'm old enough to have been in B2B sales before map apps. I used county paper maps to locate where appointments were. At the time it was not a hassle because it was the best there was.
For a modern day option that sure is a hassle compared to Gmaps, but is open source and does not track.....
Check out https://osmand.net/ I've never used it for backpacking, and it's not really its use case. But it's great for using OSM in cities. I've recently gotten into updating points of interest in towns through the app
OsmAnd uses A* rather than contraction hierarchies.
Both OSRM and Graphhopper use contraction hierarchies for routing and are open source (but I think Graphopper has additional features if you pay).
For maps I can recommend OsmAnd (https://osmand.net/), which is available on Mobile devices (Android and iOS), for Desktop (*/Linux and *BSD) there is GNOME Maps and for web there is OpenStreetMap (https://openstreetmap.org).
I also heard about "Maps" for Android (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.maps/), amazing name, I know, which is a based on Maps.me.
For Google Maps I've had good luck with OsmAnd on Android at least.
Google Voice is tricky to replace, I wouldn't trust any free phone number provider. You could pick up a prepaid cell phone plan to get a number. But, honestly I would just try to move away from the telephone as much as possible and switch to entirely online solutions like Signal/Wire/Matrix for calls and messages. Phone numbers weren't built for privacy or security.
Man, I 80 through western Kansas is matched only by I 90 through Wyoming as the very definition of automotive ennui. If I ever have to drive from Oklahoma to Oregon again, I'm just setting Osmand to "motor vehicle, shortest route, avoid toll, avoid motorway" instead, just so I have something to look at and do on the way.
I'm not sure, because everyone in this thread is pointing at google-it-yourself-maps. But after searching a few minutes, I guess it's here:

OSMAND have a 4,2 Star rating on Google Play Store and 5Mio Downloads you should give it a try :) Nothing to loose! https://osmand.net
If you Download it from Google Play Store you have to pay for the full version. But since its Open Source Software you can Download the full version trought F-Droid and test it!
Awww! Well if you are ever down there again, this is the exact location.
