Does OsmAnd allow to share custom PoIs map with contacts ?

[Tiana Lemesle]

[Helmut Jarausch]

Sorry, if this is a dump question - I haven't found an answer by googling.

I have downloaded a map for a small region from BBBike.org.

This map covers the same region as one of OSMAnd's official maps. 

When I am at a location which is present in both maps, which map will be displayed? 

How can I change the 'priority' of maps. 

Many thanks for a hint

You can use the bbbike map as an overlay. It will show when a available otherwise it will show the default map

The priority is determined by whether you display the layer as an Overlay map or an Underlay map.  In either case, you can also blend the two by enabling "Show transparency seekbar".  The seekbar is light blue and shows at the bottom of the screen.

(Regarding the query that's the title of this thread, I don't understand the question.)

I think I'm missing much more.

I have copied the, say, New.obf file to OSMAnd's folder. It is visible under "local maps" but I have not found a means to configure it as an overlay or something else. 

So, what do I have to do after the new .obf is copied into place. 

Thanks for your patience 

Helmut

Is it listed at Configure map > Overlay map (or Underlay map) > On ? 

[Helmut Jarausch]

Sorry, I can't find this options.

If I select 'configure map' I get a list of profiles. Please look at the attached screenshot

I'm not sure.  Here they are on he on the English version, partially scrolled:

I don't have these items and I think this is because there are no files in the

<osmand>/files/tiles folder. 

My map is an obf file and files in the tiles folder are sqlite db files.

So my question remains :

If there are more than one obf files in the  <osmand>/files folder containing the same location, which map (obf file) gets precedence? 

Thanks Helmut

If I remember correctly, somebody in this group pointed that both maps
are combined and shown toghether, things may have changed since some
years ago, or my memory is failing me, or whatever.

Having 2 or more maps covering the same area was discouraged at those
times as the program has to double the processing effort, it might make
sense for your case in of a very small(and detailed) map doubling just
a small area of a broather map.

About the overlay options not appearing, you must have the online maps
plugin activated in order to make them appear, even if you have them
already on your phone.

Thanks, now there these over-/underlay buttons.

But there my .obf file is not visible (as expected). 

In my case, the new map has only 4Mb and covers are small region which is also covered by a 200Mb standard map.

Thanks a lot

yw, BTW, you could try to temporary deactivate any map, so you could
see each of them alone in the same area and compare by yourself.

Thanks.

I wished OSMAnd had an option to specify 'priorities'.

If à location is contained in more than one map, the map with highest priority is used.
