Moped routing
Overview
Moped routing allows drivers to build an optimal (fastest) route, taking into account the specifics of driving a vehicle such as a moped or scooter. The routing process considers various factors for safe, comfortable, and legal movement on roads or bicycle paths.
By default, Moped profile is deactivated. To use this profile for routing, you need to switch it on in Menu → Settings → App profiles.
Route Parameters - Moped
Moped routing can be configured according to your needs in the Route parameters section of the Navigation settings.
The moped's rooting settings are very simple and consist of just a few options.
- Android
- iOS
| Parameter | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Avoid roads… | Select roads you want to avoid during navigation. | You can either select a road on the map or choose road type(s) from the list:
|
| Allow private access | Private access restrictions will be ignored when route calculating. | Tag private is used in OSM to describe restrictions on the use of highways and other transportation routes, as well as buildings, entrances, amenities, and leisure entities. |
Other Routing Settings
The routing algorithm can also take into account temporary limitations specified in OpenStreetMap. This can be done using Consider temporary limitations option. Note that in some cases, information from OSM can be outdated.
In the Recalculate route section of the Route parameters, you can enable and adjust route recalculation options.
In the Development section of the Route parameters, you can try new routing features that are currently in the testing phase. Note, that these settings are only available when the OsmAnd development plugin is enabled.
Road speeds setting in the iOS version of OsmAnd is located in Navigation settings → Route parameters (for Android, in Vehicle parameters → Default speed). This setting is used on unknown roads without speed limits. This is most often the case when navigating a track or online route. It must be set according to the parameters of your vehicle.
Vehicle parameters. Properly configuring the settings will help you avoid problems when creating a route. You can select the most appropriate route depending on the type of vehicle and road restrictions, as well as calculate the travel time.
