[solved] Help reducing map detail. App worked for yrs but suddently got into an extreme detail mode that causes copious chronic crashes

OSMand used to only crash 1 or 2 times per trip. It was usable enough. Now recently something changed with my config somehow and it shows **extreme** detail no matter how zoomed out I am. Every tiny street is being rendered. This is killing the app. It crashes so chronically it’s unusable. Anyone know how to control this? In “configure map” I have disabled everything except cycling routes. The “details” shows 0/9, which apparently only configures objects, not street details. (edit) I think the “map magnifier” might be the issue. It was at 25% (the lowest), which I would intuitively think means less road detail. But it’s apparently counter-intuitive. I chose 100% and I seem to get less map detail -- which is what I need because the more detail, the more crashes. So I might have solved this.. need to experiment.

which phone for a speedy osmand experience?

I'm using a pixel 6 with gapheneos currently. I'm looking for a phone that is fast enough to use osmand without the 5 second lag when it has to render all details. Any advice?

Creating (adding) POIs

I would like to contribute to the maps for my area by creating and uploading various POIs as I come across them in my daily use. To get familiar with the system I decided to add a known to me florist. I found the exact location using google maps, opened it in OsmAnd+, and went through the process to add all its details (address, phone, website, type, etc). However when I decide to upload it, signing in with username and password, I get the error in the image attached. Anyone know what the problem is and how I can solve it? ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprogramming.dev%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F00e0c1ad-c700-478b-9cf8-e56c08c47f02.jpeg) Edit: App Info OsmAnd+ 4.6.12, Released: 2024-01-16

Street Complete is basically dysfunctional.

Street Complete is quite dysfunctional for me. I just get a beige background with icons (+) (-) (ø) ≡. Long tapping gives: * create new note * create new track recording * open location in another app There is no way to specify a location to edit. If I go online and turn on GPS, the screen fills with questions to answer but still no map. How do I get a map? How do I specify a location to go to?

ATMs are a shit show in OSM and need to be reworked with more fields and criteria

Whoever designed the OSM db either never uses ATM machines or they have never experienced anything like the [ATM disaster in Netherlands](https://slrpnk.net/post/11373998). The OSM db has most ATM brands incorrect for Netherlands and seriously needs more fields so travelers can actually find a functioning ATM. ## brands are mostly incorrect Pick any Dutch city. Search » Categories » custom search » Finance » ATM. The brands are mostly misinfo. These ATM brands do not exist anywhere in Netherlands: * Rabobank * ABN AMRO * Ing * SNS All those banks removed all their ATM machines and joined a monopolistic consortium called “Geldmaat”. There is generally an ATM at those locations but it’s always a Geldmaat ATM. So a simple find and replace is needed on all the Dutch maps. For indoor ATMs, the brand is often incorrectly named after the shop it’s in. That’s useful for finding it but still missing important info: the actual ATM brand. ATM brand is very important because different ATM brands give differing degrees of shitty treatment. If brand X refuses your card, all instances of that ATM brand will likely refuse your card. So the “brand” field should always reflect the ATM operator. Having a separate shop name field would be useful for locating the machine. # missing key attributes Travelers should not have to spend hours running from one ATM to another until they find one that works. There are lots of basic variables that need to be accounted for in the db: * (real or fixed point) ATM fee * (enum set) currencies other than local (a rare but very useful option is to e.g. pull out GBP or USD in the eurozone) * (enum set) card networks supported (visa, amex, discover, maestro, etc) * (enum set) UI languages supported * (integer) transaction limit for domestic cards * (integer) transaction limit for foreign cards * (integer set) denominations in the machine (Netherlands quietly removed all banknotes >€50 from all ATMs IIUC) * (boolean) whether customers can control the denominations * (boolean) indoor/outdoor (if the txn limit field is empty, indoor machines often have higher limits) * (string) hours of operation (if indoor) * (string) name of shop the ATM is inside (if indoor) * (enum) whether a balance check is supported: [no | only some cards | any card]; this feature is non-existent in Belgium but common in Netherlands. Note that some ATMs only give balance on their own cards. * (enum) whether the balance is on screen or printed to the receipt, or both * (boolean) insertion style -- whether the card is sucked into the machine (this is very important because if the card is sucked in by a motor there is a real risk that the machine keeps the card [yes, that’s deliberate]). Motorised insertion is more reliable but carries the risk of confiscation. Manual insertion can be fussy and take many tries to get it to read the card but you never have to worry about confiscation. * (boolean) dynamic currency conversion (DCC) * (boolean) whether there is an earphone port for blind people (not sure if that’s always there)

Best way to share POI from GMaps to OSMand

Hey, like many people, the search feature sucks for me. Is there an easy and reliable way to share a POI (restaurant, store, whatever) from google maps over to OSMand?

I'm not finding OSMAnd useful, at all.

I'm a fairly serious map geek, I'm somewhat media-agnostic though obviously my heaviest uses of mapping is on my Android phone. I really wanted to like and use OSMAnd but -- saying nothing new here I know -- without a usable search feature is useless. Starting with the basics, here in Los Angeles a business might state it's address as (fake address) "123 Main Street, Toluca Lake, CA 91602". Even if I use hierarchical search (state, city, street, ...) it fails -- Toluca Lake is a *neighborhood name*, not an official city name. It is widely recognized and used as one -- post office routes to it, emergency services, Door Dash and all that rot work. If I lived there, I'd known the underlying town name. But that ignorance is precisely the point of computer and network based search -- I don't know and need to. It's been too many years with search getting worse not better. What a shame, the maps themselves are fine. But without some attention paid to the front end, it's literally not usable to locate a persons house or a business. Seriously, Los Angeles, it's not obscure. It maybe that we will collectively or individually need to pay for the compiled street/building level data.

Cool online maps?

I just added the Strava heatmap as a layer in one of my maps and this is very cool. Definitely better than in the actual app. What are some other cool online maps you've integrated into osmand?
