OsmAnd-resources VS OsmAnd

All of these map styles contain one type of data from OpenStreetMap. Rendering.xml contains rules on how to display (draw) the map on a device screen.

The custom vector map output is dependent on the rendering types (view) and POI types (search) configured. If your .osm file's entries aren't using listed tags, they'll be skipped; you would modify your OSM file to use the predefined tags, and/or modify the predefined files (and a rendering style) for display.

For existing tracks, OsmAnd-resources has a standalone template. If you name it how you like and change its depends to your usual style, and use it instead of your usual style, then gpx files without explicit widths will get its strokeWidth value.

You can write your own style https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles

For OBF creation, while the poi_types file used for searching includes them, the rendering_types.xml file doesn't include disc_golf tags.

In the default rendering style, near the bottom, one can see the values of admin_level and their minzoomvalues. One can potentially alter this, or make a copy (that wouldn't be overwritten when updating), or do otherwise, as this file is also present locally in files/rendering.

Within poi_types.xml the first poi_category has a name of shop. Within this category, some of the shop types (e.g. bakery) have poi_additional_category values (e.g. delivery) that can be used for filtering (the sliders icon in the upper right when one has performed a search). But toilets isn't typically a filter for most POIs.

These icons are (or at least were) "stubs"; see the files whose names start with "stub_" within https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources for several of them. (As these are source files, they are unlikely to match your actual map's rendering, but the actual rendered files are within huge directories that aren't as conveniently browsed within GitHub's web interface.)

I used unirs as template from https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/tree/master/rendering_styles and adjusted the hex colors. You need to import the xml file then into osmand

In case you are a avid hiker, you probably know Komoot\2],) you can easily find and share hiking trails with everyone and attach images to it. It's really great for tracking your hikes and viewing it afterwards. And if you are in need of a general purpose app that does everything and everything well, then OsmAnd is your little helper in your pocket to navigate around. You can choose the offline map style, use various online maps, add your own maps, hike, bike, horse routes and much more. Configure the map as you wish, hide POIs, hide buildings if you don't want them, explore the map with Wikipedia articles, there are basically no limits for customization. If you are sick of green forests, create your own custom map style and make them pink. You can find default map styles on github.

> Google maps and Waze does not allow for setting vehicle height

As a side note, OsmAnd supports setting vehicle height* and has support for multiple vehicles/routing profiles: https://osmand.net

I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.

Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

Organic Maps & OsmAnd~ are the classic map alternatives but i don't use them.

When I am on a flight and the flight does not provide the flight information, I am using the OsmAnd, https://osmand.net/, to monitor the flight altitude, speed and direction.

Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

OsmAnd~ (version 4.5.8): Global Mobile Map Viewing & Navigation for Offline and Online OSM Maps

OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
