In osmand, my current position is shown as a spot with a certain radius, the radius shows the accuracy of my position, sometimes there is a fan shaped area in that spot, what does that mean?
Thank you for your help!

I believe it is the estimated direction you are facing using your device's compass measurements.

Yes, it is your viewing direction, i.e. the direction the top or your device is facing.
