Hi Santamariense. Three parts to this reply; (1) Definition of word "Avoid"; (2) Use of "Avoid" function in OsmAnd. (3) Use of unpaved roads.
(1) Definition and use of the word "Avoid". In a navigational context "Avoid" means or "Do not go to or through ...". The use of the term does not imply a legal obligation, It does imply that all alternative routes should be considered, and that this route is not an option. Perhaps the reason could be the temporary closure of a route by road-works or other blockage. (2) Use of the "Avoid" function in OsmAnd. Suppose you've set a start and destination, OsmAnd has plotted the route, and you notice it uses a road which you do not want to use. Hit the blue/white arrow. Hit the "settings" gear-wheel. Hit "Avoid roads". Hit "Select on Map". Touch the map at a suitable point. Touch again more accurately if necessary. Hit the three vertical arrows (bottom right hand side of screen). Hit "Avoid". Watch for re-calculated route. Repeat all the above to "Avoid" other roads if required. When your trip is completed, you'll need to delete the list of "Avoided" locations (unless you need them for your next trip). You'll find them in Route settings (Blue/white arrow. "Settings" gear-wheel. "Avoid roads". Hit each "x"). (3) Use of unpaved roads - You can set/un-set this option in Menu, Settings, Navigation Settings, [Appropriate profile], Avoid. Helpful? Paul W.
