dasgrueneblatt<p>I have lots of favorites (starred places) in <a href="https://wien.rocks/tags/OSMand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSMand</span></a> and I want to view them on a map on a bigger screen, not just on the phone.

Hilarious #OsmAnd routing failure: bike from one neighbourhood to the next in Helsinki, through Stockholm. Only 545 km detour. The voice was outraged that "You have deviated from the path by 60 m!?".

(I think this happened because I have geolocation disabled until a moment before. When you re-enable, it takes a little while for the "real" location to propagate, and a random previous location from the cache is used. When the map updated, the route did not.)

Vielleicht stolpert ja jemand bei seiner "Flucht" von #komoot über #OsmAnd als Alternative.

Die Plus Version von OsmAnd lässt sich über den alternativen PlayStore von F-Droid kostenlos installieren.

Updates kommen da vielleicht etwas verzögert an, aber... umsonst.

@eliasp thanks for that link. helpful info.

i tried to look before but i only found this wiki page which was less detailed: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/It
> diet:vegan, Whether the establishment offers vegan products.

now i wonder whether it's possible to actually search for these #vegan only restaurants somehow, in #organicmaps or #osmand, or whether i should kindly suggest it be implemented ...

Hallo Fediverse,
kürzlich hatte ich bei einer Unterhaltung das Thema GoogleMaps. Es wurde gesagt, dass die Sympathie ja auch nicht bei Google liege, jedoch mache man davon Gebrauch, da dort die [POI] so unkompliziert zu finden und mit Zusatzinformationen befüllt sind. Ich selbst verwende #osmand.
Gibt es weitere Alternativen, die ich vorschlagen könnte (besonders zur Online-Nutzung)?

@cehteh
Thank you so much. I will try to follow your instructions. If I manage to do it, it would be the perfect solution.
I didn't know that there is a #Brouter plugin in #OsmAnd .This can be very helpful as I anyway use Brouter.de (+ #Valhalla #routing engine + #Cyclers web routing engine) to plan my #bike tracks. Thanks again.
By the way, is there somewhere a sort of #OsmAnd manual? I often get lost with the application and the help section is not always explicit enough for people like me.
