How to start navigation for a GPX track (round trip) at a specific point?

[Hans]

I found a nice bike tour as a GPX track. It’s a round trip.
I want to start at a specific point along the track not being the first wpt of the track. OsmAnd gives me the possibility to:
1/ specify the starting position.
2/ to turn on the option Pass along entire track.

I expect that osmand will navigate me along the track starting (2) at the wpt I provided (1).
Unfortunately this doesn’t happen.
First, navigation starts at my starting point. Correct.
Next, it brings me along the track to the first/last wpt in the GPX track. Wrong.
And then the navigation starts along the complete track, of which a part is already done!

Does someone recognize my wish, and sees my error?

I’m using osmand 2.90 on iOS.

Thanks!

At the very least, uncheck "Pass along entire track".  With that checked, OsmAnd "insists" you cover the entire track.  I imagine there are few scenarios where that inflexibility is required.

Why oh why do you want Osmand to navigate you along the track? Don't you see it on your phone? I mean this seriously! I always have my phone on the handle bar with a phone holder and just follow the track. So I always have the overview over the area I'm biking in, and can change directions, find other paths or make a short cut if I find this useful or necessary.

That’s true Wolfgang. One can ride along the track. But when you’re a captain of a cycling team for example it’s nice to have some real *navigation* information on your screen (left side) to inform your mates “in 250 meters to the left, and shortly afterwards to the right”. Or “in 10 min stop at restaurant” (right side). Isn’t ?
There is a difference in use between all the users of osmand I guess.
Thanks for your advice and suggestions.
Best, Hans

There is indeed a difference in use and users. That's part of makes this international forum so interesting.

Hans, of course there is, riding in a group might be such an example ;-) Perhaps I am a little bit too old-fashioned; seeing a track on a smartphone-screen is already much more than I've had in 30 years of travelling with my bike :-)

Happy navigating!

Wolfgang

And there is the "problem" of battery live.

In cycle mode with your screen off, your phone battery lives much longer. OsmAnd will switch on the screen for x seconds (x a setting you can specify) and mention the "go left in 250 meters" or whatever instruction. In that case you know what direction to take and you do not look as often on the screen. Even if you don't want to: with a switched on screen you look more often on the screen than with a black screen. That makes it more safe in traffic.

I do have a power bank as well which I connect when my battery is below approx. 25%. (connected to the bike frame with a usb cable along the stem of my bike steer.

Energy consumption and battery life are good points Harry.
I use a hub dynamo usb charger (Forumslader). There are many good ones, see https://www.cyclingabout.com/list-of-hub-dynamo-power-supplies-for-usb-devices/
Charging starts already at low speed.

[Harry van der Wolf]

Thanks.

Didn't even know these dynamo usb chargers existed.

However, prices are very high compared to a simple power bank as of 8-9 euros.

No problem, if you have an E-bike ;)))

In other cases, a powerbank indeed is the solution.

As to me, I love looking at the display during biking, and as I mostly ride away from any traffic, it's no problem at all.

Innovation rate in the cycling/biking industry is enormous, both in hardware as well software (fe OsmAnd).
USB charges are not for e-bikes but for (semi)professional bikes such as santosbikes.com :).

[Wolfgang Uhlig]

Hans, that was a misunderstanding, I meant that instead of any charger for the phone like hub charger or powerbank, on an E-Bike you just can tap from the ebike-battery by a USB-cable.

Hallo, ich mache es ganz einfach: 

1. 1. Marker1 setzen um z.B. den Platz wieder zu finden an dem das Auto parkt.

   2. Marker2 setzen am gewünschten Einstiegspunkt im Rundkurs 

   3. Nun von aktueller Position navigieren zum Marker 2 als Ziel.
      

   4. Am Einstiegspunkt die Navigation des Tracks starten - führt zum Ziel/Start 

   5. am Ziel/Start  angekommen Navigation des Rundkurses erneut starten (nun als vom Start) bis zum Marker2. Somit ist der Rundkurs komplett. 

   6. vom Marker 2 kann man sich zum Markler 1 navigieren lassen.
