I ride offroad, the remote bit is irrelevant, with Osmand. I load tracks and the directions are not pulled from the map but from the gpx-track. You can ride a track in Osmand without a map and it makes no difference, you get the same directions! A GPX-track is just a breadcrumb trail of coo

Brouter is useful as the routing real-time service or as a GPS route generator for later use. If used for route recalculation in case of the external GPX route deviation, it can navigate you back to the route. For your route itself, BRouter is inactive. Locus will generate hints on its own, bu

Ah I get it! When you navigate a track, instead of a route the directions you get have nothing to do with the roads. Osmand will show you where your direction has to change according to the track, not by looking at the road map, it ignores intersection on the map. It's complicated but I hope you

Hi Mo Re 1) Brouter is a very useful app, and Poutnik is understandably a great supporter of it and source of help with it, but maybe an alternative viewpoint would also interest you. 2) Like you, I sometimes find that using a pre-constructed GPX route, in conjunction with OsmAnd, leads to
