[SOLVED] Searching For Campfires
I have the OSMand app on the Phone for offline and survival use. Plan is to search for campfires in an easier manner.
Right now, I have to zoom in (quite a lot), in order to even see a campfire icon.
I want to simply click a tag that displays all campfires and yet be able to zoom out a lot to see all campfires in the area. Is this even an option or am I just a moron and don't understand how the app works? (Don't answer that last part ;D)

If you search for "firepit", then choose the category (see image), then click "show on map" it should do exactly what you want :)
Works! Thank you! I was searching fireplace or campfire xD Much appreciated!
If you tap on an object, you'll see what the OsmAnd terminology for that kind of thing is that you can use in the search field.
If you go to search, across to categories, down to custom search, type in firepit and add that. You now have a custom search you can overlay on the map 🎉 I have an overlay that shows free toilets, very useful in London
where there's smoke, there's fire.
(Mostly) unrelated to OsmAnd: with https://mapcomplete.org/nature, you can also see firepits and add firepits to the map (and even include a picture). If you add a firepit with this, it'll appear (eventually) in OsmAnd too
Amazing! Will for sure do this! Especially as I know where there are a few "hidden" ones. Even in places you need a boat to get to :P
What is the significance of the campfire? Is is just a campfire or does it mean something else?
I think OP means a firepit
On a lot of places it's forbidden to light campfires outside of designated areas.
@Know_not_Scotty_does @infeeeee Gee that is so strange!
Yes. We have those too. Except in designated spots that are covered in a concrete/metal cylinder around the fire and a gravel ground. Luckily where I live, the restriction of having a fire haven't gone to the highest in the scale of 'forbiddeness' We had a nice BBQ and the burgers were amazing!
