Export / Import POI

[Raivo Kask]

I have created a bunch of POI:s via Custom Filter on one device.
Since I have osmand+ installed on several devices I want to export my POI:s from that device and import them on all other devices.
How can that be done ?

[Harry van der Wolf]

Do you mean POIs or favorites?

favorites can be saved, copied to another device and imported again (in addition to the other ones).

A POI file can also be copied, but if you mean that you used the OSM function to create new POIs you simply haveto wait until a new map containing your added POIs has been created.

I mean POI:s
What I did was following:

1. In osmand+ on my Android device I chose 'Map layers'
2. Clicked twice on POI ...
3. Clicked 'Customer filter'
4. Selected and checked the options I wanted ie. Transportation / Parking
5. Saved it with a name 'My POI'

OK - now 'My POI' is listed under 'Map layers / POI ...' and works OK but how do I transfer this file to my other devices ...
My intention is to create customized POI:s on one device and export them to all other devices

That is currently not possible.

Like every Android app Osmand stores its settings in a folder /data/app/<app signature>/etcetera. This is done in a sqlite database.

The favorites are also stored there and these can be imported/exported.

The customized poi filters you create can't be imported/exported.

It might be a good idea to file a feature/enhancement request in http://code.google.com/p/osmand/issues/

Hi,
I see OsmAnd+ is updated to V 3.6.2 - I thought there might be an option to export personalized POI's, but am unable to find anywhere to export these. Am I being a little previous, and need to await a later update please?

[Dave Booth]

I found it ...
Settings/
Profile/
Export Profile (bottom of list)/
Include additional data (SELECT)/
POI Type (include all - or select)/
EXPORT.

Took a bit of finding, but it's there 😏
