OsmAnd name origin

[clementaudic]

Hi @vshcherb, @sonora, @alexey-pelykh and others,

Could you please clarify whether the "And" in "OsmAnd" was initially intended to stand for "Android", for "Automated Navigation Directions", or both?

The earliest explanation of the name "OsmAnd" I found is in an archive version of osmand.net from 19 January 2012, where it is explained as "Open Street Maps Android". A bit later, in an archive version from 7 February 2012, there is a banner explaining "And" as "Automated Navigation Directions" .

See this Wikipedia talk for more details.

Thanks.

By my recollection, it was originally 'Android', and we later widened it to interpret as 'Automated Navigation Directions'.
