OsmAnd is a great open source Maps mobile app that uses OpenStreetMap!

In osmand, click share and use the forth entry, geo: Unfortunately, on my device it only wants to open another app. I can't copy the result.
That's a very good first issue if someone wants to open one https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues?q=is%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+geo%3A
Edit: it's not recognized as a link in thunder or molly. Meaning, a copyable link from osmand won't be too useful. One would have to open a series of issues. I'm not too sure why it's not yet possible. Maybe i'm missing something.
I think I made some progress using osmand.net links, which is what is copied to my clipboard when I try to share a location from OsmAnd then select Copy. Ill edit my OP with what I found
Unfortunately that is only a link to osmand. Magic earth also creates a link to magic earth. A universal link would be much better. There are no firefox and chrome links either.
I got around this on my device by adding osmand.net as supported links for OsmAnd to open. That way I guess if the app is installed it will open in the app, otherwise open it in the browser. Yes, its a manual step but for now I think its best. Im almost done with my tool also, keep an eye out for when I make a new post with the link ;)
It would be awesome if I could create a link (in osmand) and a comaps user could use that.
You're writing a tool?
Cool, I didn't realize that!
Yea that would be awesome! Let me get this version up and running, get some feedback for it, particularly from the visually impaired community (I did my best to make it screen-reader compatible but as I'm not visually impaired myself I'm not sure if the tools I set up for testing are the standards, or if what I have currently is even useful to visually impaired people) and then I can for sure work on expanding it!
