Navigation app suggestions? (mander.xyz)

I'm looking for an app where I can define roads it should not use, in order to avoid some legal to cycle but quite dangerous spots.

The apps I found are either (a) fully manual pathfinding or (b) fully auto pathfinding where I can add additional stops, but not substract dangerous locations.

Do you know any like that? What navigation apps do you use?

Thanks 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

I’m always mystified to find how many people haven’t even heard of it

Because phones have Google or Apple Maps installed by default, and I'm willing to bet that most people just stick with those.

OSMand, and the Openstreetmap data it relies on, is sooooooo much better than the capitalist slop you find in those other mapping platforms.
