Well ya see its like this..... Early this morning, I was fixin to head out someplace. I only had a clue of where I wanted to go and no real idea of how to get there. So I kicked OSMAND awake and first thing I did was kick it off wifi and into airplane mode. Went to search and put in the national forest I wanted to visit. OSMAND could not find it, oh well not a big deal. I started another app that I have and it found it and there was the route so off I went. BTW This was at 8am and it was only 85 degrees. I got where I was going shut everything down cause I did not charge my phone last night. It was about 25% I think when I left? Had beakfast, talked to some guys, rode around the park scouting out camp sites for this fall. Its WAY to hot be be camping this time of year down here but I have heard good things about this park in the fall. So, I get done with my scouting and I want to head home before the heat gets to full blast. I kick OSMAND awake and use favorites/home. I did not check the settings, I did not pay attention to the profile. I just woke it up and told me to take me home. Rembmber, I was totaly offline so it worked a bit then came up with a route. I didnt check it, I didnt look at it I just went. All was going well till it dumped me off onto an interstate, I did take it for awhile, maybe 5-10 miles. That was enough of that and I knew I had to head south and east from where I was so the next exit I got off. First I turned the wrong way and had to make a U Turn, OSMAND rerouted me, wanted me back on the interstate, I just ignored the instructions and kept heading north-east. Not exactly the direction I wanted to go but it was close. As I was making my way along this nice 2 lane road once in a while OSMAND would tell me that the route was re calculated. I would glance down at the screen time to time and it was pretty easy to tell it wanted me to go back. I just ignored it will it decided another way was better. I was some place in another national forest I think when it told me to take a left, which was more or less in the direction I wanted to go. Here in Texas you have to be careful of these roads, what may start as an old paved road, may turn into a gravel road, and then followed by a rough rutted gravel road followed by a goat path. Today I was in luck! It kept routing me down these old 2 land mostly paved, most good roads that I NEVER knew existed. I could not find these roads again to save my life. Yes, I should have been recording this. Directions were always turn left,right continue on for 5 miles, continue on for 3 miles, Sharp left continue on 3 miles. I had no clue where I was but it was VERY nice riding. 2nd gear about 30-40 mph. Not the kind of roads you will make miles or time on. Country roads, no traffic, no....well not anything but me and a LOT of trees. It finaly dumped me out on a road about 10 miles from home. 1 last fill up with gas and I got home about 1230 and it was 95 degrees and time to park the bike.
It was a great ride on roads I did not know even existed. Exactly what I want apps like this to do. OSMAND may have a few glitches, bugs and PITA moments but today it was perfect. Thank you to all the Developers, All the people who work on the maps and for all the support I have gotten from here. Well ya see its like this.....
