Android auto for OsmAnd is a paid feature either through subscription or one-time purchase. Has anyone tried it and do you think its worth it?

    Have you tried the “OsmAnd~” version on fdroid? I think that one is basically the full version without a paywall. You could try yourself if you find it worth it, and buy the official app if you want to support the project.

        The problem is that android auto is restricted to apps installed from the play store.

        The F-Droid Version supports Android Auto, but it’s blocked by Google.

        I managed to enable it by spoofing the installer-package during installation.

        For me, the navigation is near unusable. Location tends to lag behind by a few seconds when running on Android Auto. On my phone it’s fine.
