    Do you still have the old phone? F-droid has an option somewhere in the settings to export the list of all apps installed via it

    Wouldn't sorting be a reason to have date first not second? My own suggestion: italicize "Online" and put into parentheses or brackets in lowercase, as it's a description, not a name. I don't know if that (italics) is easily available in other languages though. Benefit: Online column could be removed.

    Looks like you got it figured out. Setting it to track did the job. If you're still getting routed on something other than osm.org (e.g. a phone app), you may need to change your router settings.

    The most obvious solution is this: https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat<lat>&mlon=<lon> (replace <lat> and <lon> accordingly). Apps like OrganicMaps/CoMaps and OsmAnd will install a handler for this (at least on Android, not sure about iOS) that will allow you to open such links with the app easily (it usually shows an "open with" menu when you click on such link). Example: https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.477352&mlon=0.0 If you want to specify the "zoom level" (i.e. how much of the map you can see), use https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat<lat>&mlon=<lon>#map=<zoom>/<lat>/<lon>. Example: https://openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.477352&mlon=0.0#map=19%2F51.447352%2F0.0 There's also osmand.net, which is more flexible. It asks you if you wish to open the location in an app, and if you do, you can use any app (whether it uses/supports OpenStreetMap or not), because it uses Android's native location thingy for that. To use it, do https://osmand.net/map/?pin<lat>,<lon>#<zoom>/<lat>/<lon> . Example: https://osmand.net/map/?pin=51.477352%2C0.0#19/51.477352/0.0

    I, too, would use 3 as the stub before the kerb isn't actually crossing the road (e.g. one could walk to kerb, turn around, and go back without stepping a foot into the road proper). Similar to mapping the pedestrian refuge portion of a footway between carriage ways as footway=traffic_island instead of footway=crossing.

    I've started adding "OpenStreetMap" as a user tag on steam. Would be cool if others do the same

    If you tap on an object, you'll see what the OsmAnd terminology for that kind of thing is that you can use in the search field.
