Easiest way to add favorites from Google Maps into OsmAnd?

[Sander Steenhuis]

I just bought OsmAnd+ on the black friday 50% discount sale :D

I'm gonna make a little tour later, and I was wondering, what is the easiest way to get a location (custom POI?) that I see in front of me on the Google Maps website into OsmAnd as a favorite?

I just want to do that. Ideally, but outside the scope of this question, something like this should be made easy. Like adding a star on Google Maps (website) automatically syncs that star to the Maps app on your phone.

You can copy Google map URL, generate QR code and then scan it with
phone. Osmand can handle such URL and will show the point on map.

To generate QR code you can use clipboard tools like Klipper or some
addon to browser. To scan QR code I recommend ZXing Barcode Scanner.

This is probably easiest way how to transfer single point from PC to Osmand.

You can go to Google Maps web site, export your POIs as a KML file, then convert it to GPX, and put that in the phone.

There is a well detailed procedure that I found (and followed with success!) here: http://ashraffouad.blogspot.com.ar/2013/08/moving-favorites-from-google-maps-to.html

Interesting solutions. For now, I am partially using Josef Kufner's method.

I center the place I want on google maps. Then I use the pushbullet plugin in Chrome to send the url to my phone and open it with OsmAnd+.
