Seems that the Here Maps navigation has stopped working after the latest sailfish update. Atleast in my case the screen turns to black after having selected destination and pressed "start".. So is there a working navigation app for Jolla/Sailfish at this time?

Right about now... I wonder if @Pikku-Y got navigation working.

Did you try to reinstall Maps application? I have the newest version of SailfishOS and Maps app is working good.

Of course there is the awesome open-source OSMAND app from F-Droid (Android). If you have issues with TTS sound, check out this.

Of course there are many native apps in store, like MAEP (with offline feature). No need for droids.

And you are not the first: Maps that actually work? and not the only want more: Native Offline Navigation with voicenavigation and turn by turn. Try the search ..

I tried this maep, but could not find graphical turn by turn navigayion feature in this app, so not a sollution for me.

My favourite apps on Jolla 1 and C are HERE WeGo for car navigation and Poor Maps for everything else

HERE WeGo Pros and Cons

  • offline maps
  • turn by turn navigation with voice
  • pretty good maps for car navigation (albeit not as good as the OSM maps you can use with Poor Maps
  • support for bicycles and pedestrians is not very good
  • needs Alien Dalvik (but can be found in Jolla store - no Google account needed)

Poor Maps

  • good selection of maps
  • good user interface
  • navigation not limited to major roads
  • native SFOS app
  • no offline maps (except for cached tiles)
  • no voice navigation

What about modRana ? :)

It might not be able to do everything just yet, but it's a native app and is available from the Jolla Store and from Open Repos. :)

@MartinK

modRana is really nice app. But I'm waiting for next version with initial offline routing support as you mentioned at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1512428&postcount=1894

atlochowski ( 2016-08-30 18:56:44 +0300 )edit

Yeah modRana is a great app. If this app finally gets offline support, my need for an offline navigation app will be fullfilled.
