As a devops I understand your pain ;-) but for OSRM, I found that using<br>
docker and staying on a fixed docker version for OSRM makes the pain a<br>
lot easier. You say you are using GPS in the car, do you also have a<br>
OSRM server running in the car? And is this server docker-ready? Because<br>
then I would strongly suggest you follow the instructions at<br>
<a href="https://hub.docker.com/r/osrm/osrm-backend/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hub.docker.com/r/osrm/<wbr>osrm-backend/</a> it works like a charm for me.<br>

OSMAnd can be switched to use OSRM I think, but that requires a reliable<br>
wireless broadband on the android phone, something that is becoming<br>
worse rather than better. Even driving down the M5 I get gaps in<br>
reception, so everything has to be local, which OSMAnd does a good job<br>
of for most things ... just not B/unclassified roads :(<br>
<br>
Docker is yet another infrastructure tool to get ones head around ...<br>

And to name another option you could use (and have to learn): <a href="http://brouter.de" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">brouter.de</a> has an android app that can be used as routing engine for OSMAnd. You can configure it to your liking, but I'm not entirely sure the car routing is up to scratch. I use it for my bicycle routing.<br>
<br>
For the rest: I share your pain about OSMAnd.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
