Sorry mods sure there used to be a miscellaneous section.
On booking there used be an option in their app to get directions for your booking!
Click get directions, open with, click on my Osmand+ icon and the location was there and i would add it to favorites; or i could search options, accommodations and find the place easy pezzy ;but not now!
Any ideas what they have done or have i missed something
Thanks Woody

Hi Woody
I’m not sure if this is helpful - but I thought I’d check a past booking-
Eg:
When you open a booking confirmation /
it gives property address etc - and in blue under property address - it gives link : “get directions “
I usually just go into my ‘booking dot com’ app and see my confirmed bookings. Past or future.

I’m not sure about adding to favourites etc. I’ve never done that.
Maybe it’s only there on an actual booking .

I don't use OsmAnd, but I downloaded it to see if I could open the booking.com directions in that app, and I can. Then I can add it to favorites in OsmAnd.



 
Thanks for your efforts guys !
Yep that's it and it worked great but now i cant find the directions button; unless Talkback has some reason for not reading it aloud!
Talkback is a game changer; but when it doesn't want to play i am stuffed

My daughter is home this weekend; i will get her to check out my phone.

I've never used the directions in booking.com. They seem too vague to me. I always just go to the "Property Address" section and then click the little "copy icon" (it looks like two rectangles stacked) and then place the address in google maps. As a bonus, as I often have headphones on, I turn on the audio directions which basically guides me around every bend and corner. Note: I always have data.
 
I copied the address from my email confirmation and put it in my Calendar. When I got to the edge of town I'd tap the address and allow Google maps to direct me to my bed. I think sometimes that was only way I knew what day it was and where I was lol.
 
If you are talking about the OSM voice prompts, I have these off by default. When I am establishing a navigation plan, under the section where one sets the origin and destination, there is Settings selection. The sound for voice prompts can be turned on and off in that settings page.

Edit: there are several other ways to get to the navigation settings page where voice prompts can be enabled right up to the point where you start navigating. Wherever the little gear cog appears, it should take you to the setting page.

Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
I have started using MAPS.ME for the first time as I have been travelling without data and you don’t need data for it. As well as that aspect I find it much clearer than some other mapping apps.
