Sync favourites icons across devices and web map

[e-pirate]

While trying to save some points that look like as possible boat slipway I found, that there is no direct/clear way to save such favourite point with icon that is not in standard favourites icons list. Neither in that OsmAnd+ app, no in web map. This itself is kind of flaw the should be fixed.

After a quick discussion in the Telegram channel, folks suggested a workaround that worked perfect for the app: find an existing POI with an icon of interest, add it to the favourites making desired icon appear in the favourites icon history and therefore possible to save points with such icon to favourites.

Works like a charm!

Second step, sync favourites to cloud account and check them to appear on the web map - works as well, I can even change icons back and forth choosing the desired icons:

Third step: find new points that look like possible boat slipway using third-party satellite imaginary and try to save them with slipway icon to favourites using web map - FAILURE.

Favourites icons are not synced from OsmAnd Android app, not even added to the web map profile even there are favourite points with such icon on web map.

I think that favourites icons history should be synced across all account devices and web map making it possible to add favourites with previously used icons even it is not possible to choose all icons but workaround available.

Or even better solution: make it possible to enter (and search) desired icon name from all available/suitable icons for the point directly for both the app and the web map.

Thank you.

Hi @e-pirate
Yes, it will be a good idea about history sync. We will think about it.
If speak about favourite icon, we have the next issue in the process: osmandapp/OsmAnd#16223

This behavior can be reproduced. To reproduce it, try the following steps:

• Navigate to these coordinates 51.063955, 13.693109 in the app on your phone.
• Save this slipway as a favorite and sync with the web.
• Make sure that your favorite is displayed on the web and the icon for the slipway is visible.
• Then try adding a new favorite with the slipway icon on the web version.

As a result, you will see that the icon for the slipway is not displayed in the icon history on the web version and does not exist in the list of available icons to choose from on the web.
