Overview

The OsmAnd Web Route Planner allows you to create navigation routes, plan tracks, and manage local files directly from your browser. This web tool is useful for creating detailed travel routes that you can sync to your app or share with others.

Navigation Route

To create a navigation route, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the map to add waypoints:

  • Navigate from. Set the starting point.
  • Navigate to. Set the destination.
  • Navigate via. Add intermediate points if needed.

• After setting the start and end points, the route will be displayed on the map.

• In the Route block:

  • Move the start and end points if needed.
  • Edit the waypoints and choose the desired route type (e.g., car, bicycle, walking).

  

• Select the appropriate Route Profile for different navigation options.

  

• Click on the orange circles along the route to view detailed navigation instructions.

  

• To share the route, copy the URL. Example: https://test.osmand.net/map/?start=43.792163,11.215324&finish=43.852850,11.121941&via=43.812605,11.134644&type=osmand&profile=bicycle#13/43.8200/11.1352
