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.

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

I use Waze daily

Pro:

  1. free realtime traffic jam detection
  2. realtime traffic jam detection also on minor urban roads
  3. newest maps by realtime detection. Maps will be written and confirmed by swarm intelligence
  4. sharing your route, destination, eta etc.
  5. fresh design

Con:

  1. only online
  2. high cpu usage
