mikael<p>Are there any alternatives to Google Maps (preferably open source) for Android that will let me adjust a recommended route for navigation, like Google Maps does?</p><p>In the web desktop version of Google Maps, if I set a start location and a destination, it gives me a recommended route. I can then grab the blue line that represents the recommended route to adjust it.</p><p>This is insanely helpful as no apps pick the best route for cycling on the Swedish countryside. This feature would allow me to plan my trips ahead and not fiddle with my phone when I’m out cycling (which would be wonderful).</p><p>If there are no Android solutions, what is the easiest way to create a route (GPX?) with a desktop Linux FOSS app that can later be used on my phone? </p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maps</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/organicmaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>organicmaps</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/osmand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osmand</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/cartography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cartography</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>android</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/comaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comaps</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://floss.social/@CoMaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>CoMaps</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>organicmaps</span></a></span> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a></p>

John Ulrik<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@iwmm" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>iwmm</span></a></span> Grundsätzlich finde ich die Funktion von OsmAnd ganz gut und relativ fortgeschritten, man muss sich aber mit den Einstellungen & Co. deutlich mehr beschäftigen als bei Komoot. Auch das Preismodell ist fair. Was mich stört, sind eine ganze Reihe Bugs bei der Routenplanung, zum Beispiel wird die Anzeige manchmal erst aktualisiert, wenn man die App beendet und wieder startet. Absolutes No-Go sind aber die unfassbar dämlichen und falschen Antworten von deren KI auf sorgfältige Reports <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/OsmAnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OsmAnd</span></a></p>

And just the ALPRs with orientation info from deflock.me/map, showing pretty extensive coverage of all the ways into the region via 24 ALPRs, most of which are Flock devices (a few Axis ALPRs are there, too).

Aaaand now I've fleshed out the data in the map with proper tags.
