 ====== Using OsmAnd on a motorbike ======
-In this article I write some notes about using and **Android** device (actually a **smartphone**) as a **GPS navigation system on a motorbike**. The choosen software is **[[https://osmand.net/|OsmAnd]]**; a mature and full-featured navigation system based on the **[[https://www.openstreetmap.org/about|OpenStreetMap]]** geographic data. I tested two different smartphones: a **[[..:hardware:zte_blade_a610|ZTE Blade A610]]** and an **[[..:hardware:oukitel_wp12|Oukitel WP12]]**.

 To keep the ZTE permanently connected to the **charging cable**, I purchased a **micro-USB magnetic adapter** (specifically a **NetDot 10th Gen**). The magnetic adapter is quite convenient to plug/unplug the power connector even wearing gloves and it prevents damages if you inadvertently pull the cable.

 In the photo above you can see two adapters: one fitted into the phone connector and the one that I carry with me as a **spare part**. I used just a bit of silicone adhesive to make the plug more stable and to prevent dust from entering. It turned out that the magnetic coupling is quite **strong and stable** to resist to vibrations and wind. You must pay attention to avoid dust into the electric contacts, which are rather delicate and can actract **ferromagnetic dust**.
