How do I stop osmand jumping to my current location?

[Roger James]

This a may be a dumb question, but it has me stumped. I move the map to display somewhere which is not my current location. If I put osmand into background so I can do something else. Then bring osmand into foreground. It starts off in the location I was previously looking at. This is what I expect. However as soon as a GPS fix is acquired the map recentres back at my current location. This is really annoying. I cannot find any setting to stop this happening. What am I missing.

Turn off auto-center.

I already have Navigation:autocentre set to never. Is there another autocentre setting somewhere else?

My device has not moved. I am not in navigating a route. However the GPS signal here is very jittery. Does osmand think my device has moved?

There's also: Configure screen/Display position always in center.

That one is off also.

Aha.

It only does it if I run another app, for example Firefox, in between.

This appears to cause osmand to do a full restart, in this case the centring settings appear to be ignored.

Oops for island read osmand.

This a may be a dumb answer, but have you tried turning off "Location" in "Settings"? - It works for me.

I seem to have really messed up this thread.

Here is the amended text of the message I deleted.

Paul,

Yes I have tried turning off location in Android settings and that does fix it. But it stops lots of other apps working properly.
