The last destination is now at the top of the "History" list in the new directions menu. It's just a press away. This has at least one advantage. Before, you could never fully clear a route to start over. Pressing the directions button would automatically start navigation to the most recent destination, whether you wanted to do that or not. Which could be confusing, especially if the destination wasn't nearby.

Developers, I'm begging you, please return back to old fashioned design, when I can set my destination once and for all my trips. As I mentioned earlier, I always start my trip from home and and it at my home (don't you do the same?). There is no need to reset my destination all the times I start OsmAnd...
For myself, I've prepared routes in OsmAnd ahead of time, and when I've
used the "show home screen" button (or the "show running apps" button
and then picking another running app) I've never experienced the
prepared route disappearing in OsmAnd.

This is the part where you are performing a very unique method of
routing.

But, could you not have simply routed to each end point as a
"destination", then at the last end point, asked OsmAnd to route you
home from that location?
Maybe try inputting the final 'stop' just prior to returning home as
your initial destination, then adding additional waypoints if you are
setting up a route through several stops, then inserting 'home' as an
absolute final destination last. That way at least OsmAnd always has
at least one location that is away from your present location ('home')
so it will not think the route is over before it has begun.

I do not yet have that version, so I can't comment on what it is doing.

Works like a proverbial charm over here. As I expect if does for everybody else if they set intermediate and final destinations properly. This adverb does not seem to apply to you. Re-read the instructions and everything that has been posted here and try again. Eventually, regardless of how “useless” your current attempts have been, you should get it right!

I have attached four images.
Image-1.png shows some basic instructions, and is the initial starting
setup for adding destinations and intermediate destinations.
The pale yellow highlight shows the areas of the user interface to
touch to activate the various portions, and the black text and black
lines defines what each of the three pale yellow areas performs.
So, starting from Image-1.png, I first touch "From: My Postion" area,
and pick a starting location (in this case, it is a map marker that I
have named "Start".
Second, I then touch the "To: Select Destination" yellow area, and pick
the same map marker (Start) a second time. These two selections result
in Image-2.png, where both the From and To locations are the same spot
on the map (the "Start" map marker).
a second map marker named "Intermediate 2". The result is shown in
Image-4.png. Note, I now have two intermediate destinations, and
OsmAnd has not reset my final destination (it remains "Start", exactly
where I had initially set it when first reaching Image-2.png).
How do these steps differ from how you have been attempting to add
intermediate destinations and finding your final destination reset?

I do not understand why it would have to be that way.
Hi, to debug weird things like this, it would be useful if you do some tests:
If your version of osmand is the + one, then install the free one, download a small map and test the behavior you describe there.
If it performs right, then the problem must be somewere on your osmand+ installation(settings, maps, plugins, permissions...), instead, if the problem persists, then it points to some sort of problem between osmand and your phone or android version.=
If the version of osmand you have is the free one, you should be able to install the ~ one from the versions button on osmand or from f-droid.
The key is to have 2 different versions in paralel and be able to compare between them.
Note: I've tried to reproduce your problem on my phone but everything works fine here despite the different settings I've tried,
I allways get the dialog you miss where you offered to replace the destination, set the point as first waypoint, last waypoint or add as last destination. I have no clue on what can cause that dialog to be missed :(

You are welcome.

I do not see that behavior with the slightly older version that is
still on F-Droid. Going to favorites and picking one takes me to the
location of the favorite, but does not start a navigation. I have to
tab a "directions" button to begin a navigation to the selected
favorite.

Then don't try to set an intermediate destination via that method
anymore. Use the method of going to favorites and tapping a favorite
as a quick way to set a final destination.
>It just starts navigation immediately :(
Given the changes made, it stands to reason that you'll need to change
slightly how you insert your destination and intermediate entries into
OsmAnd.

See the annotation in Image-1-annotated.png. If by "bottom right
corner" you refer to the button labeled "Start", then the action you
are seeing is exactly the intent. That button is the "Start
navigation" button (which is why the label is "Start").
>anymore...
>:( So, I don't even have a chance to set an intermediate destination
1) Add your intermediate destinations before you touch the "Start"
button.
2) After you touch start and have started navigation, touch the
"navigation" button (bottom left, icon is a blue arrow that looks
much like the "your present position" arrow on the map when
navigation. A dialog will then open, which contains an identical
"+" button as highlighted in green on Image-1-annotated.png.
Touching that "+" button brings up the "add intermediate" dialog
screen.
You have to do one of two things:
>Be careful and do not update to that version, unless you want to
>experience my problem too...
I won't be experiencing the problem, because I'm telling you exactly
how to fix the problem. Touch the correct control button, and you will
no longer have this problem. That correct control button being the
one highlighted in green on the attached Image-1-annotated.png.

But to imply that you have to think and work in a certain way, for no
other reason than a design flaw (?) that broke the other way - I do not
agree here.
Personally, I have my own problems with osmand, not keeping its destination.
Whenever I enter a destination, but do not start immediately, the
destination is gone and not even visible within the history - which
would be the least where it should be kept.

You've been shown, in great detail, in this list, with annotated
images, how to add an intermediate destination in Osmand. Most
recently in this post:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=msg/osmand/8FXPXP0Ik5w/gJxsvEhlBwAJ#!msg/osmand/8FXPXP0Ik5w/gJxsvEhlBwAJ
and yet you continue to complain that it does not work for you.
The fact that you still can't do this, even after being shown how in
step by step detail, implies that the problem is with you, and not
Osmand.

>riding my bike
Make certian that voice prompts are turned on in the route display screen.
If I remember correctly, the upgrade to either 3.4.3 or 3.4.4 via. F-Droid
turned voice prompting off, and I had to turn them back on again.
There was also a post in this group not long ago about changes in
preferences storage and needing to verify that settings were migrated
properly.
