Osm "And" the "And" means "Automated Navigation Directions". OsmAnd (OSM Automated Navigation Directions) is an open source mapping and navigation application which uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for both online and offline use.
Great tutorial for beginners. Thanks! One thing to note though is that this app (or any of the apps you mentioned) are not endorsed or affiliated with the OpenStreetMap project, so they're not "official" in any way, and OSM is not responsible for the development of these apps. OSM contribute the data used to produce the maps in these apps, and it's up to the developers how they use it -- as long as they attribute, as required by the license.
I watched this to find out how to plan a route from A to B to plan a trip and how to save planned routes. The video only mentions routes from your location. I would say A to B is essential. Other than that it was useful. Now I will watch the advanced. Thanks for the video.
I was blown away by the quality of this App. I coudnt believe they just gift you that many mapdownloads without any timerestraint. You can even change your decisions at every time. The maps themselves are also very detailed and have many POI's. 10€ per year for all features and unlimited downloads is ok I suppose, but the 25€ in a 1-time purchase are surely the cheaper option on the long run.
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 !
Thanks for the video! Learned a lot! :) Imagine if you're biking and following a gpx track. You want to know how far a particular city / camp ground / ... is. However you want to know this info based on if you were to keep following the gpx track and not create and alternative route. How can one do this? So what I want to know is pretty much, from point a on a gpx track to point b on that track, how far it is following the track. Can you please tell me how to find this info?
This works fine for me, going by street name as it doesn't have all buildings marked/numbered. You can actually improve this by submitting improvements to the dataset of the house location/size(if needed) and number. m.ua-cam.com/video/E1YJV6I_rhY/v-deo.html
Trying to figure out how to make Navigation function on screen to orientation of travel. I am having to touch and turn the screen when I make a turn in a different direction. It's got to be easier than I am finding! TIA
Is this the best FREE app to setup up routes, record actual routes take...and offline GPS? then save later. Also can I somehow setup my routes/maps on PC to be used on my phone..as the phone screen is so small.
I use OsmAnd on an age-old Lenovo A3500 from 2014 (Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), Chipset Mediatek MT8382 (28 nm) CPU Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 GPU Mali-400MP2 Memory Card slot microSDHC (dedicated slot) Internal 8GB 1GB RAM, 16GB 1GB RAM. Technically it runs okay with it. i searched for a better tablet than this one and did never found a better one which I could afford - there seem no better cheap ones. I am not sure if SomAnd is a good app. It is so complicated that I consider it not reliable. Why does it stop recording GPX when I make a pause, not even looking at the tablet, let aside touch some "Stop" button?! Will try locus maps and check google maps. But run it will.
Thanks for the app suggestion, amazing! If I could somehow upload the GPX file made with this app to my Garmin watch, this would be amazing. That way I could plan ahead and prepare the tour for the next day super easily!
I know right! People give Osmand such a bad rap considering what you can do with it I think it's highly with the money for the pro version. Maybe with a USB cable into the phone from your watch this might be possible.
@@hiddenSeekerAh great to hear 👍 I recommend those add-ons for sure and if you do decide to go for those add-ons be sure to check out the links in the video description as those links support The One Good Road. 👍😀
Hi, I experienced a problem with OsmAnd which was nable to continue recording a route after 900meters of ride and it was unable to find GPS location cca 100km when I realized malfunction. OsmAnd didn't freeze nor crashed. I couldn't fix the problem myself but an application called "gps status and toolbox" solved the problem. I can't get used to a practice that the problem is solved by installing an app. It makes me feel useless. 🙂
As far as I know, no. But you can import data manually into the app yourself or perhaps Open Street Maps database has a area to import data from other users using the app.
This application is just hopeless. Voice commands is total haos. For instance you hear 20 times, second after second, 'you have reached your intermediate destination'. You have notification 'turn right and continue next... ZERO meters'. Visual information is not any better. Screen rotates from right to left even if u go straight. After turn screen... map does not change.

I enjoyed the tutorial, however, you must go slower because as a beginner I don’t quite know where everything is at in this app. Keep it coming.
I don't know why the app can't find places by directions (asking name of the street + number). Maybe I miss something. Great video!

Great Tutorial! THANK YOU!
Thanks for taking your time to explain.
how do i add both the street overlay and the satellite image view?

My hopes were high for this app. The inability to search for a friend or family members physical address is a deal breaker for me

i use this for 3 years
Google maps has a very, very outdated version of my location (possibly 10 years old). I'd choose anything over it.
Do you guys know how to bring up a satellite map for my mountain bike rides? I prefer using satellite map. Thanks.
Saving a profile doesn't go to a drive?
Why would I want to save a profile to a phone contact?
I downloaded 2 times and installed 2 times... in car android.... but Voice does not work ..in car unit....why?
I don't think the app has android auto support. It should have Bluetooth support
Great tutorial👏🏼👏🏼😀
nice... how do I set the roads to use - I want to avoid paid roads... thanks

I have tutorials on how to create KML and GPX routes. ua-cam.com/video/nnl1WcVE8Aw/v-deo.html
Hi! Nice tutorial. What would be the minimum requirements for a tablet to run Osmand, please?
I use OsmAnd on an age-old Lenovo A3500 from 2014 (Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), Chipset Mediatek MT8382 (28 nm)
CPU Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-400MP2
Memory Card slot microSDHC (dedicated slot)
Internal 8GB 1GB RAM, 16GB 1GB RAM.

@@TheOneGoodRoad I figured it out already, this makes the app sooo useful! I just have to see if I need those addons in the future :)

I had it navigate a route for me. It asked me to download over 3gb of maps to do that. Can I not use it without massive amounts of offline maps?
I was hoping for an off road GPS tutorial rather than an on road one like Garmin provides. Have anything like that?
Thanks for the answe, mate! Does it also happen to you that sometimes it takes like 3 minutes to create the route to a place?
Glad to help. I think over time it get easier. 👍
And do you know why sometimes it takes to long to plan the route? I mean sometimes you insert the address and it takes like 2 minutes. Is this normal?
Osmand uses your phone CPU to calculated your routes offline, compared to Google Maps using its online servers to calculated the desired root.
How do you enter a street address? It won’t let me
А как включить 2,5d вид в картах osmand ?
It can be hard to determine what you're clicking on when watching this video. It would be helpful if you could somehow make it more obvious. Thanks!
You can change the playback speed if you need too.
how do you delete a route ?
Ita limited to download the maps its limited 7maps
Does it have audio like google maps Thanks
Yes with TSS (Text synthesized speech)
Does it include speed cameras?
As far as I know, no. But you can import data manually into the app yourself or perhaps Open Street Maps database has a area to import data from other users using the app.
Can osmand calculate alternative routes?
It's usually one at a time.
This application is just hopeless. Voice commands is total haos. For instance you hear 20 times, second after second, 'you have reached your intermediate destination'. You have notification 'turn right and continue next... ZERO meters'.
Visual information is not any better. Screen rotates from right to left even if u go straight. After turn screen... map does not change.
Why on earth it takes like forever to calculate long journeys? So irritating
Is this app open sourced?
No but Open Street Maps is (sort of)
Are these maps in GMRS?
Not sure I follow you?
@@TheOneGoodRoad sorry mixed up radio talk with map talk
You lost me at the adverts….
YouCan try making your own routes? You didn’t say a single word about that. You can’t get away with that. This is ridiculous.
