Configuring the Screen: OsmAnd for Android & iOS (versions 4.3)

OsmAnd Offline Maps and Navigation's screen setup menu determines what "widgets"--distances, street names and more--appear on your screen. Here's how to use it.

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way to improve the use of OsmAnd app which would notify users by screen flashing, vibrating or maybe sending warning to an external device which would sit in user's pocket when user is approaching to waypoints specified inside a ?.gpx file. Here's why: when riding a motorcycle during sunny days the mobile screen reflects the sunshine and it is hard to see a waypoints on display and riders can't hear the phone's sounds. I guess screen flashing would be the best way to warn/notify riders. It would be nice if OsmAnd would let users decide the proximity of the warning, number of flashes, light's intensity, speed and color of flashes. So far I liked OsmAnd app for navigation. If it could display warnings as I described it would be great because available voice prompts are kind of useless. I would like the OsmAnd to display flash notification when approaching specified waypoints without the need to be in Navigation mode. I load the ?.gpx track with waypoints and go for a ride and change the route on the go so route navigation is not needed. Can it be done or does the user have to enter navigation mode? It's kind of inconvenient when a group of riders change the route plan maybe few times during the group ride but specified waypoints(speed cameras) are a constant and expensive to ignore. here's example of data inside ?.gpx file: Name Address Kind regards

Honeslty, I did not like using this app; not stable and not user friendly.
