I've posted on YouTube a quick tour of the iOS version of OsmAnd.  This is the only video I see covering the Apple version of the app, so I've tried to cover on the main features: background and preparation, navigating, GPX tracks, POIs, and a list of "Nice to see" features I'd like to see added.  

Thoughts from forum members always appreciated. I plan to update the video when more features are added.

Nice video. Also, I am one of those who usually use OsmAnd for Android. 
Since many of my friends use IOS, I bought an iPhone specifically for OsmAnd.
I miss onthe iPhone version the possibility to save a planed route.
Could you already find a function there?

I didn't see that function either.

However, there is another function.
My Places -> Trips -> Create new trip.
There you can set waypoints.
After saving, a GPX file is created.
In the Vavigation menu item you can choose the file as GPX route.
Unfortunately, no route is calculated from the individual waypoints. Am I doing something wrong? Have you ever tested this feature?

In the Android version, there's an option called "Calculate the route between points" that attempts to do as you describe. But that option isn't available in the iOS version. Version 3.0 was just released, but from the description, I don't see either feature (saving a route to a GPX or the workaround) implemented there either.

In a typical daylight setting, contour lines are hardly visible.
Is it possible to change the color and/or intensity of contour lines? 
Many thanks for a hint, 
Helmut

Thanks, that helped a bit. I chose dark brown which is better visible,
Helmut
