Stupid question - is the OsMo plugin open source?

Ideally this feature should have a separate presentation (e.g. how friends are displayed on the OsmAnd map) and transport, so that other transports could be added easily (other than e.g. traccar), reusing the code that displays friends on the map and gathers own's coordinates for sharing with friends. Is this best achieved as a plugin? Is there some HOWTO or examples of creating OsmAnd plugins that can 1. Get the own's coordinates (I guess using OsmAnd API, not directly from the OS) and 2. Draw on the map (friends' positions)? -- Vasil Dimov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
