I've got a POI layer (vector layer with single-point geometry) in QGIS and would like to import these points to OSMAnd under "My Locations" including the attributes (like name of the point). How can I do that?

I tried SQLite, GeoPackage and GeoJSON, but always got two errors:

  1. Firstly, OSMAnd complains that the layer does not contain waypoints and asks if I want to import it as track.
  2. If I confirm, it then shows an error message like "Unexpected token (position: TEXT ...".

Eventually, I was able to import the POIs into OSMAnd as GPX format. However, it was necessary to enable the GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS when exporting it in QGIS in order to allow OSMAnd to import the string attributes properly.

I think you should try to export to GPX (GPS eXchange) Format.

Check this: Importing GPX in OSMAnd.

  • Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried it, but could not export the attributes with the points. – fuggi Jul 15 at 19:57
  • Can you provide more information about your data in order to have a better idea where the problem lies? – Ruben FV Jul 16 at 6:18
  • How does the original/exported attribute table looks like? How many / which type of attributes do they have? – Ruben FV Jul 16 at 6:19
  • There are 4 attributes, 3 of them are strings and 1 is an integer (UID). I don't care about the UID, but need to transfer at least the names (one of the string attributes). – fuggi Jul 16 at 7:21
