Hi all,

i use Osmand for route planning and also for navigation with voice when biking on my eMTB. I had some good experience with it but lately i did a tour through the Odenwald (Germany, Hessen) and navigation was very bad. In a forest it directed me to drive in a big circle and i had difficulties finding out. Also later on the tour it often directed me in the wrong way, often in the exact opposite direction! I wonder if this comes from gps unaccurancies or other problems? I got the idea it was getting worse and worse on the trip from the moment it was wrong in the first place. Also the voice advice is quite annoying, when it always says "slight cure to the right then keep right" and there is only one route with lots of curves - it just doesn't make sense!

The route i was going can be found here in detail:

First problems occured at point 5 from start where Osmand guided me in a circle through the forest. Later on there were lots of wrong navigation instruction, often in the opposite direction from the right way.
