You probably heard of #OsmAnd, the swiss knife map app that uses #OpenStreetMap data, but do you know that there's a web-based interface, too?

Check out osmand.net/map, and plan your trips with routing, and various map rendering options, while doing so in the comfort of your desktop browser.

It even includes weather forecasts, if you're trying to avoid getting wet for your weekend ride.

You don't even need to register for an #OsmAnd, or #OpenStreetMap account to use it.

@MapAmore this seems to be entirely different than the Android app and barely shares any features?

@jomo I don't think it's meant to replace the #OsmAnd app. At least, I don't think so.

@MapAmore I am an OsmAnd user and I didn't know this! Thank you!

I've used #OsmAnd for years, because I didn't want to use anything that used Google Maps. I wasn't even looking for a route planner, but only for a GPS logger, but with OsmAnd I got both :sunglasses:

But sometimes it just can't calculate a route. Not sure why, the error message "-1" isn't very helpful.

@MapAmore I can't get the same overlay as in your preview for weather forecast. Maybe it is dependant on my country ?

Because as a motorcycle rider, this feature is very interesting to me.

@Zekovski That is possible, but try zoooooming out.

At first, I thought it was weird that I wasn't seeing anything but apparently at lower levels, the overlay is not visible at all.

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but you only need a browser and then go to osmand.net/map , and made for desktop users in mind?

The UI is definitely *not* optimized for the mobile user, so I suppose if you're mobile you'd end up with the #OsmAnd app.

@MapAmore my mistake, i always associate maps with a cell phone. 😅

I had looked for an app for this on osmand.net and only found this:

The figure shows the app stores of Huawei, Google, Apple, and Amazon.

Yeah, the link doesn't appear to be mentioned in their websites.

You might notice that there's a login option for #OsmAnd pro subscribers.

For those looking for a mobile app alternative I recommend Organic Maps:

Yeah, that's nice, too. A mature, actively developed, and much improved fork of #MapsWithMe.
