Thanks! - Авто та транспорт
This is very helpful info. You explain things systematically which makes it easy to understand. So many content creators just turn on the camera and start rambling. I appreciate your very thoughtful approach. Happy motorcycling to you in Poland from Ohio, USA!
Glad it was helpful and thank you for your kind comment :)
WOW - this is excellent information, thank you!
Hello great movie very nice ride ;)
Hey, I needed to have basic explanations about how this app works, and your video was perfect! Thank you so much 🙏
Thanks, useful information👍
Thanks 🙏😃
WELL DONE!
Dzięki, Grzesiek :)
Dziekuje za tutorial!
Dzięki :)
Thank you so much, brother! Purchased OsmAnd+ January 2023, work every day, evry day by car, bicycle, looking forward for spring, than with T7! But, as you`ve said: it´s more a kind of software... I also appreciate the support team, this guys take care very soon! So, best regards to a nice season 2023! Guenther, Austria
Thanks Guenther! And have a great season on your T7 - Austria gives so many beautiful opportunities for excellent rides :) cheers!
Hi there, excellent description. Finally, I can navigate with the imported GPX files on my iPAD without having to buy a navigation device. Thanks a lot and best regards from Munich. Have a good Christmas time!
Glad I could help! Thank you and Happy Holidays to you as well :)
OsmAnd is great! thanks!
I'm glad it was useful 😀 cheers!
Thanks for guiding me through a rather user unfriendly interface. I think now I am ready to try it out on the local TET for starters, Cheers
I am glad I could've helped. Have fun on TET with OsmAnd!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Really useful tutorial. Nice step by step instructions which I followed very often by going back a few seconds to see what you did. You went a bit fast for me sometimes! It was hard to see where you were "clicking" sometimes but other than that, really very good. Really pleased you helped me put right the orientation of the map which was annoying me so much that I nearly gave up on OsmAnd altogether. Going to make better use of this app now so, many thanks!👍
Glad it was helpful and I am sorry for being a bit too fast sometimes :)
enjoy your 2024 rides!
Thanks much. I just loaded this app because I was looking for offline maps. I have the free version but will certainly look at the paid version.
Hey Scott and thank you for the comment.
The paid OsmAnd+ version allows you to download maps without any limits and that was the main reason for me to pay.
There is also a subscription (I believe it is calles OsmAnd Pro) - there are some benefits like cloud storage of your settings and more frequent updates of maps. Last year they offered a decent discount for Pro services for Black Friday.
Cheers!
Very handy thanks! I think there is a motorcycle profile by default.
Yes, it is! And it is a great idea to modify settings to rider preference too.
All the best!
Thanks for your explanations. I have recently downloaded OsmAnd, but due to winter weather have not been able to try it out on the tracks. Günter/Nürnberg
it is a powerful app, unfortunately the User Interface has a lot of room for improvement...
@@CykloGamonie I will find out once the snow's gone. Enjoy winter, Günter/Nürnberg
been usig this for few months, and zes oh boi the user interface 🤣😭, but at least their docs are reallz good
Thank you very much. I've been fiddling bit with osmand and I was losing my nerves already with it. The menu layout and feature locations are just somehow very different than I would do UI for. This was very helpful. Now I just need to figure out how to edit gpx files. There's one like 1000km long tet round that goes near me, but I'd like to make customized trip and loading that very long tet gpx is nuisance.
Glad it helped! :)
For gpx files editing I always use gpx.studio/
Again, not the easiest UI, but very effective way to create and edit (cut, merge, etc) gpx tracks.
Thanks for your comment, cheers!
@@CykloGamonie Oh thank you for this suggestion. Was just about to begin Googling with cup of coffee. You commented just at the right moment. Very much appreciated, huge thanks 🙂👍
@@CykloGamonie Thanks again. Just got home from my first GPX and DMD2 ride. Best 5hours this summer. Happened to select beatiful trails with bit of a luck. Got bored to riding with feel and constantly hitting some dead ends. Now in future I'll definitely do bit of mapping before run. My sincerest thanks to you man 🤝
It wasn't that bad to make trail. Actually pretty fast, though I should've realized bit earlier to zoom more to prevent those odd "eagle trails" and such.
You know what... Messages like this are so uplifting! Thank you 🙏😊 it is making of those videos so rewarding and I am once again motivated to think of another one.
Thank you, Jothain! 👋
@@CykloGamonie No problem. Imo it's still good practice to thank people from stuff you gain something. I don't do vids myself,but seeing the amount of hateful messages etc. and insanely good videos around globe having virtually no views or likes must get the feel of being "meaningless" (couldn't figure better word in English). From what I've done some recording and editing for myself, I know that stuff must take quite a bit of time. Glad to hear you might be doing more stuff. Subscribed to possibly catch good stuff.
This is a great app but I had a problem where it kept crashing. Problem was having numerous gpx tracks displayed while using and I think all that data was overloading my poor IPhones memory. I turned off all the tracks I wasn’t using/following and it seems to be fine. I have tried heaps of others and none of them were as detailed as this. This app does take some practice and getting used to but it has allowed us to ride deep into forests and navigate to destinations we never could or would have.
Hey Billy Bob, thank you for the comment.
It seems to be the problem for both platforms, as on Android (Pixel phone) I had the same experience with too many gpx files imported. I needed to clear all data, reimport the current track and then it worked well.
And it is my experience as well, I haven't found any alternative for my needs. OsmAnd+ is my top choice as it works really well offline and that was super helpful in places like Kyrgyzstan or Pakistan.
Cheers!
Hi ! I first downloaded the free version of the program Osmand, and then bought the paid version of the program for a month (Osmand Pro) and the sound does not work on Iphone 12 pro, when I already entered the route and navigation is in progress, the sound sign is turned on, but the smartphone does not make any sounds ! Please help me how to set up or find the sound. Thanks a lot !
Hey mate and thank yo for your question. Unfortunately I have no iPhone near me and I have no idea how to help you. I would search through Options of the app, with focus on Navigation options. On Android enabling audio clues for navigating in OsmAnd is very simple and easily accessible. Sorry I was not helpful... All the best!
Bardzo przydatny odcinek.
W tym sezonie jeździłem głównie na złotej wersji LocusMap. Teraz testuję właśnie OsmAnd'a. Ciekawi mnie Twoje zdanie, jeśli mógłbyś porównać te aplikacje.
Pozdrawiam.
Hej, dzięki za komentarz.
Nie mam żadnych doświadczeń z LocusMap, ale chętnie spróbuję. Pojeżdżę (acz pewnie dopiero wiosną 2023), dam znać.
Thank for this useful video. APPRECIATE YOUR STYLE so I abo your channel. The Osmand features sound pretty amazing. Got 3 Qs: 1. Do you have experience with other Nav Apps and if so, would you pls be so kind as to flash the cons of these?
2. Does Osmand work with tracks and maps on a mem card?
3. The free version of the App appears to run slow when zooming in and out loading the map pieces...
Oops 4 Qs... might sound silly, but 4. Can you plan new routes offline, provided you downloaded the relevant maps?
Thanks and cheers
Gaucho fom Germany
Gaucho, first of all thank you for your kind comment and added subscription. This channel has been in hiatus for a while as I was too busy with everyday life, but I plan to bring some more content soon :)
regarding your questions:
1. If I am able to use mobile data transfer and I do not need to follow gpx track, Google Maps is my main choice. And yes, there are other apps like Locus or Maps.me, but I have used those for ages.
2. I believe OsmAnd+ will be able to read gpx tracks from external memory card, not sure about downloading and saving them on external memory. I would only suggest to look into options.
3. It probably is related to phone CPU/RAM. It works fine (smooth) on my Pixel 3 (quite old phone already).
4. in regards to planning on desktop - I am using gpx.studio to do that. It is just much easier than working on a mobile device.
All the best from Poland :)
it sounds like that there is a turn by turn navigation with the track. Did i understand this right? becasue i allways had in mind, that this is not possible with trcks, because the information is missing
Hey there, to be honest I have the turn by turn navigation with spoken instructions, but I turned it off as for most offroad tracks there just far too many spoken announcements and it was very annoying. So, I know it works, I just can't stand it and prefer to just take a glance at my phone for next manoeuvre.
Panie Rafale świetny poradnik. Używam Osmand od przeszło roku, ale kilku funkcji nie znałem. Dziękuję. Mam jednak pewnien problem z aplikacją podczas nagrywania tras. Niezależnie czy w mieście czy poza np w górach aplikacja w trakcie nagrywania nagle gubi ślad i niby nagrywa dalej, ale nie rysuje trasy, a po zakończeniu nagrywania po prostu wyrysowuje linię prostą od ostatniego nagranego punktu do kolejnego, w którym się odnajdzie. Czasem jest to kilka a czasem kilkanaście kilometrów. Czy spotkał się Pan z takim problemem? Może mam coś źle ustawione? Używam aplikacji do nordic walking. Pozdrawiam
Dobry wieczór Panie Piotrze - dziękuję za pytanie.
Szczerze mówiąc nie zauważyłem podobnego problemu w czasie korzystania z OsmAnd i pierwsze co podejrzewam to chwilowe tracenie zasięgu GPS przez telefon (lub jakiegoś rodzaju chwilowe wstrzymanie działania modułu GPS przez system telefonu). Czy próbował Pan z innym (nowszym?) modelem telefonu?
Czy przeglądał Pan też ustawienia "Trip recording"? Jest tam np ustawienie "prędkości minimalnej" do zapisywania ścieżki. To mój drugi pomysł na rozwiązanie problemu.
Ale stawiałbym na zasięg GPS / chwilową decyzję systemu operacyjnego o wstrzymaniu modułu GPS.
Ukłony!
Nie wiem czy system nie uzna tej odpowiedzi jako spam. Jeśli chcesz aby twoje mapy były jeszcze bardziej szczegółowe, aktualne i przydatne to sam pobaw się w ich ulepszanie. Mój cały kanał na You Tube w pewien sposób nawiązuje do OpenStreetMap o czym świadczą opisy pod moimi filmami. Mapowaniem zajmuję się już prawie 10 lat. OSMAnd to najdoskonalsza aplikacja mapowa ze wszystkich. Posiada też funkcję zapisywania śladu GPS na podstawie którego możesz edytować mapę po wcześniejszym wgraniu go do Edytora OSM. Jednak ślad ten nie jest zbierany z dostateczną precyzją. Do zbierania śladów na potrzeby OSM jeśli chciałbyś spróbować się w to bawić używaj tylko apki OSMTracker jest to aplikacja stworzona specjalnie w tym celu z gotowymi szablonami obiektów i notatkami które pojawią się potem w edytorze. Pozdrawiam!
Hi . Do you have experience with tomtom go app and sygic? Thanks
I am sorry mate, I absolutely do not :/
Cześć, Jak można uruchomić w OsmAnd komunikaty głosowe przy nawigacji, tak jak np. w Google Maps?
Hej, oczywiście można uruchomić komunikaty głosowe w OsmAnd. Opcje - Nawigacja - ikona ustawień - Dźwięk. Trzeba tylko chwilę poszukać, bo UX tej appki jest zaiste vintage...
@@CykloGamonie Hej, dzięki za odpowiedź, walczyłem i mi się w końcu udało :)
Jesli mogłbyś mi z tym pomoc; zaplanowalem trase w wersj webowej aplikacji. Moge te trase zobaczyc w aplikacji mobilnej? Zalogowalem sie do 'chmury', zsynchronizowalem dane i nie widze nigdzie trasy. Workaround zrobilem poprzez export trasy do GPX i import w aplikacji mobilnej ale to troche prawa reka do lewego ucha. Nie mozna inaczej (moze tylko w PRO mozna 'prosciej'?)
Hej, dzięki za komentarz.
Nie testowałem opcji synchronizacji przez cloud niestety :/
Za każdym razem wrzucam zrobione na gpx.studio pliki na Google Drive i importuję je sobie w OsmAnd.
@@CykloGamonieDziekuje za wiadomosc
Przetestowalem te mape w trasie (gpx). Nie wiem jak Ty mozesz tego uzywac 🙂 Komunikaty glosowe sa takim haosem ze po paru minutach masz ochote trzasnac telefonem o ziemie. 'You have reached your intermediate destination' slyszysz 10 razy, sekunda po sekundzie. Te komunikaty przeplataja sie z informacja ze za 40 metrow skrecisz w lewo a pozniej... w lewo. Komunikat by skrecic w prawo i konynuowac przez.... ZERO metrow i skrecic w prawo. Bardzo czesto brak informacji o koniecznosci zmiany kierunku.
No dobrze, mozna to wyłaczyc. Ale wizualna nawigacja jest tak samo wspaniala. Ekran ciagle rotuje to w prawo, to w lewo, to sie oddala to przybliza.... jadac caly czas prosto. Skrety sa wskazywane tak ze konia z rzedem temu kto to zauwazy. A po skrecie mapa... nie zmienia orientacji przez pewien czas. Szkoda ze nie mozna tu wklejac obrazow bo pokazalbym jak wg tej nawigacji mialem pokonac wezel z tunelem 🙂Mialem pojechac... w kazda stronę.
A, wylaczenie tego g... tez jest wyzwaniem. Aplikacja potrawi zawisnac (z ciagle aktywnymi komunikatami glosowymi od czapy) i pomaga tylko restart telefonu.
Cześć i dzięki za komentarz :)
Nigdy nie mówiłem, że ta aplikacja jest idealna - wprost przeciwnie i dlatego potrzebne są często tutoriale, jak z niej korzystać.
Komunikaty głosowe wyłączyłem pierwszego dnia, to jest definicja ZŁA i faktycznie nie da się z tego korzystać. Do nawigowania w czasie jazdy offroad staram się mieć telefon w polu widzenia i tylko tak udaje mi się sprawnie nawigować.
A jeśli chodzi o orientację mapy w czasie jazdy - to też się ustawia, jest tam kilka opcji. Dla mnie najlepiej działa "Orientacja mapy zgodna z kierunkiem jazdy", wtedy tych momentów analizy kierunków przy manewrach jest zdecydowanie najmniej.
Jeśli aplikacja Ci się wywala, to może masz za duże pliki gpx vs pamięć operacyjna telefonu? Ja jeżdżę na bardzo starym telefonie Pixel 3 i nauczyłem się już odchudzać pliki gpx, bo zaiste ciężkie pliki i za wiele w pamięci aplikacji powodowały problemy :/
Mimo tych wszystkich problemów - wciąż uważam, że to jedna z lepszych aplikacji do offline nawigacji po śladach gpx. Jakby poprawili User Interface, to byłaby dokonała.
Pozdro!
how to remove osmand from Android, I've tried everything - it doesn't work
I am confused... you can't uninstall the app?
@@CykloGamonie Yes, I've tried everything!
Tried several years. Was crap, is crap, will be crap in all future. They don't understand that the software should do what the user needs, not the user should do what the software wants. Got back to "Here" and "Simple OSM Viewer".
I agree that OsmAnd+ has a lot of room for improvement in regards to user friendly app experience, yet I also have a lot of respect as this is being developed by contributors / crowdsourcing and delivers free offline navigation along gpx tracks (and that is my key need when traveling). I haven't used Here Maps for some time, but as far as I remember that was not available there. So I took some time to understand how OsmAnd works and now it is not such an issue as it used to be.
Cheers!
@@CykloGamonie Info: "Here we go", former Nokia, was restricted to the Nokia smartphone many years ago. It has been available for free since many years now. Car industry are using it for their built-in navigation and for this purpose, they finance it, free for the user.
Years ago I found "Here" only useful for cars. They did not show the small roads, landscapes and interesting details, neither small roads if there were fast ones available, so drivers could get an unclustered view. Since then, they have taken a lot of steps to include bicycles and walkers.
They never arrived at the wealth of details of OSM maps. This is the reason why I installed the "Simple OSM viewer". No navigation, it does nothing except start within a few seconds and show you on the detailed OSM map where you are at the moment. If you navigate elsewhere on the touchscreen, it shows you the approximate distance as the crow flies.
And yes, I have taken a lot of times to understand how Osmand works. Too much time. It was not worth the trouble. I changed to locusmaps but in the end, I decided it was too much trouble if I have Here as well as Google Maps on the smartphone for free.
