Gregory's Server@organicmaps is really amazing for traveling via bicycle. It's insane how battery-efficient offline maps are. Keep the app in the foreground, but with the phone to sleep. Disable 4G, only wake it up when directions are needed, and the battery can easily last two days, even with another background app tasked with recording a GPX trace.

Not sure what is the issue you mentioned. What I did was open the app with the route. Then manually put the phone to sleep with the power button. When I needed direction I just woke it up with the power button again and put it back to sleep once I passed the intersection. I didn't even need to unlock the phone to see the maps. My issues is that osmand prevent the phone going to deep sleep consequently draining the battery (my phone is a bit old, I would loose 30-40% over an hour). I'll test that :) I see two options "Autoriser l'écran à se mettre en veille" (authorize the screen to go to sleep) and "Afficher sur l'écran de vérrouillage" (Show on the unlock screen). |
@sgued @organicmaps i had the following issue with osmand while touring: it prevent the phone from going to sleep if the app is open.
Do you experience the same with organice?
