Speed limits and radar warner without navigation

[Martin Trautmann]

Is there any option yet to use osmand in an active, but non-navigating mode?

At the moment speed limits or radar warnings are given only when following a route to a predefined location. 

But sometimes I'd like to use osmand in an active, but not navigating mode, where I want to see the map where I actually am, how the road ahead will look like, or I want to record where I'm driving.

And in that mode I'd like to also see the current speed limits or to obtain if there is a speed control ahead (assuming that I'm allowed to use that).


Schönen Gruß

Hi,

This is not inside Osmand, but a separate speed alert app using an always visible overlay.

Have a look at https://github.com/hvdwolf/SpeedAlert.

It uses the same OSM data as OsmAnd when using a database. (but can work without databases).

I wrote it for our Android head units but it also works on my phone.

V 2.3 is currently the latest: https://forum.dudu-auto.com/d/3135-speedalert-a-tool-with-an-overlay-that-alerts-you-when-overspeeding/225
