Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to annonce in Osmand offline an obstacle on the road when travelling.

Example : you are driving on an highway, with Osmand offline running, and you hear on the radio that the road will be closed in 10 km, due to an accident. Is it possible to simply enter this information in Osmand offline, so that it calculates a new route before reaching the closed road ?

This would enable to anticipate the closed road and offer early enough an alternative route to the driver.

Thank you for your interest and response.

Kind regards,

Cedric

Click on map, actions, avoid road.
Does that work for you?

Hello and thank you for your advice. It Works, but not easy to add the 'obstacle' when driving. An easier way to add it would be appreciated. :-)

If you have an idea for a better way, then it is best to submit it to
the OsmAnd Github issues tracker to get it in front of the developers.
While a developer sometimes drops by on the list, they do not in
general monitor this list for suggestions/bugs/etc.

The Github issues tracker is here:
