Not heading out in the car very often I don't use Osmand on a daily basis so some of the apparently random changes to the screen cause confusion. This morning I was driving down the M5 and the speed shown on the sat nav did not seem to be right. I'm sure you have all worked out what speed you see on the speedo to be doing 70ish on the gps, so it just did not feel right. I was also a little confused by the quoted arrival time until I realised it was now showing a countdown instead!
It was a gruelling 2 hour run to do 60 miles so I was late getting down but before I left I tried to find out what was going wrong ... First problem, the speeds were set to 'nautical miles' rather than simply miles. So why was that changed, but more of a problem is there does not seem to be an option at all to get the arrival time back. Something I use quite often when telling people how I'm doing. So why not complain on the Osmand list ... I will copy there ... but though I would ask if any other UK users find this continual changing of simple things actually dangerous? I knew the sat nav speed was wrong, but only because the rest of the traffic was keeping it down. The other area on Osmand is the poor quality of routing for rural routes. I STILL can't work out how to get it to use the secondary roads around here without re-tagging them incorrectly as B roads. Down at Bath today it insisted on taking the A roads in which anybody who knows Bath KNOWS is just wrong, but it will not pick up the Landsdown routes into that side of Bath. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
