How do I get rid of the menu on the left?

Hi! You can launch Navigation or tap on Free ride to close the menu.

Just came across this thread.

How does one go about using Osmand on Android Auto? 

Thanks!

You need to have OsmAnd+ or OsmAnd Pro.

The free version doesn't have this ability.

And if you have the + or pro version, it works automatically.

The only thing you might need to do is to add + or pro to the displayed apps in your Android Auto settings on your phone.

Just a quick note: if you're on Android, the only versions that work with Android Auto are OsmAnd+/Maps+; the Free version can use Android Auto to, provided you have activated a Pro subscription.

OsmAnd~ from F-Droid, hoewever, will NOT work with AA: actually it's AA's "fault", since it only recognizes the signatures from Play Store and the app from F-Droid is therefore unauthorized to run.

I remember that, long time ago, there was some kind of trick to make it run, involving changing the app signature, not sure if that would still work today.
