In addition to its impressive feature lineup, OsmAnd is frequently updated and the app has significant improvements compared to Google Maps, which mainly focuses on subtle improvements that aren’t even worth mentioning in the changelog. It is undergoing improvements.
Version 4.7 is now available on the App Store with major changes.
The new version of OsmAnd includes a wide range of changes that may not be of interest to users who are only interested in a simple navigation experience. To be fair, OsmAnd is more than just a regular navigation app and offers more advanced features. Pro users will love it too.
For example, version 4.7 improves the management of the tracks displayed on the map, with two new sections available: View and All. Paid users can also 3D visualize their tracks based on altitude.
This update includes new widgets that can be added to the navigation interface, such as sun position and glide rate.These are the iPhone[メニュー]>[画面の設定]>[ウィジェット]It is located in
Tech-savvy users should read the full changelog (embedded in the box after the jump). Because it includes many other changes that greatly improve the experience of OsmAnd on iPhone.
The update also offers a little bonus for CarPlay users. Since version 4.7, OsmAnd can now display detailed roundabout information while navigating with his CarPlay, and the app has gained support for exit numbers. This is a small but important improvement, as roundabout navigation is now more convenient, especially on unfamiliar routes.
OsmAnd is still a super advanced navigation solution and provides great tools for route planning and recording. GPX track integration is one of the features preferred by most users, as it allows you to plot routes point by point, record them in GPX tracks, and share them on OpenStreetMaps.
Compared to Google Maps, OsmAnd not only sends you to your destination with the fastest route, but also provides an improved navigation experience. This application also takes into account more information such as vehicle dimensions, so it can also be used for larger vehicles. GPX track integration and additional terrain information greatly enhances the planning phase by allowing you to see road slope and other data.
The GPS navigation interface is fully customizable, and we integrate new widgets with every update to allow users even more customization. You’ll be able to see important details like distance, speed, and remaining travel time, as well as more advanced information that’s useful for professional drivers, like the position of the sun (after installing the new update we talked about today).
