Over the years of using OsmAnd, I've noticed (at least) a couple of things: the app is great for hiking because it actually routes over trails, rather than just point to point.  But there's a dearth of instructions for doing so.  To promote the first and help remedy the second, I've put together an 18-minute video.  It attempts to show how to plan a route from a remote location while using many options from v. 3.3, plan a route from the trailhead, and use that route to actually navigate on the trail. I'm a hiker, but the same ideas could apply to other off-road activities.  

This is a first attempt.  Constructive comments would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
I dont hike but I can see where some of the things will be helpful for my off road trips.

I think that this approach could be useful for any routing where you a) want a very specific route and b) want to know the distance to specific points.
