Using Google maps to connect to a location in, 'Osmand'

[alpine14011970]

Is it possible to use Google maps to find a location, for instance on a map where there is no English overlay and send that co-ordinate or something to Osmand maps easily?

Thank you!

The following works:

In Google maps right click on the location. A pull down menu appears. 

Click on "what is here"

Google displays the coordinates at the bottom of the page. 

Now in OSMAND enter

Search, address, coordinates and enter these values there. You may safe the point as a favorite.

But who can remember all those digits comprising a lat/lon? I changed the Coordinate format in OSM to OLC and get that information from google maps resulting in 4 to 7 numbers to remember.

But do read up on google qwik codes as there are some tricks. Most of the time google only offers 4 numbers, which is not enough. In those cases you also need to enter the location such as the city.

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but what I'd do is simply to do a long tap on the map in GMaps at the place I'm interested in; select and copy the coordinates that appear on the map; paste the coordinates in the search box in OsmAnd.

It seems to work smoothly...

On my android screen I cannot see lat/lon, only the quick code, which has somewhat automatic copy function
