Hi.

I use Osmand+ version and having updated to 1.8.2 I can't now open the location shared via SMS by another osmand user.
SMS is looking as usually: two links, one is OSM URL and another is download.osmand.net/go?lat=AAAA&lon=BBBB

When previous version was installed, I was able to open the second link right in Osmand without necessity to turn the internet on. 
Now there are only a selection of browsers and I have to go to webbrowser and thereafter I get several options of navigation programs and maps to proceed.
I suppose it must be something that has been changed in software, but not on my phone. If developers read this group, would you be able to fix it?

It works at #6636D, which is the latest nighty-build.
Try it again.

Still not fixed in the android.market version. That's really a trouble.

1.8.3 version  - still doesn't work (OsmAnd and OsmAnd+)
It was very useful function...

I understand we have OsMo plugin now but:
- it would be nice to use "location sms position" just tapping the link in sms. There are simple apps sending location via sms - it's easy send "location sms". Should I say: 1. install OsmAnd, 2. download maps, 3. activate OsMo plugin, 4. register in service, 5. learn how to use OsmAnd => so you can send me "location sms" now ???
- we can decide which way is better for us - the new plugin, the old sms and choose the proper solution, can we?

Regards,
Tom

Hi,

two days ago, I implemented support for several sites (google.com, yandex.ru, openstreetmap.org, openstreetmap.de and download.osmand.net):
https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/commit/c3d62e05cf4b4167e823abb472927f0fd4e3e3c2

It can be tested with latest nightly builds.
On my device it is working now.

Regards,
Max

Works great! Thank You.
http://download.osmand.net/latest-night-build/OsmAnd-nightly.apk

What about plus/paid version? How can I download it or use this .xml in paid version? I can't find this .apk file.

Next release will (likely) contain it.
But I don't know, if there is a date for next release yet.

Max

The problem has been solved in 1.9!
Now I can open shared locations directly in Osmand without internet connection.

Thanks.
