When will the final release (GA version) of the android support for Sony XA2 be available? Is there a list of familiar android apps like firefox that work with mobile data using the beta version of Sailfish X? What's about the android navigator OSMAND, does it reliable work?

Here's also a good list about Android apps and how they work https://together.jolla.com/question/198517/wiki-state-of-sailfish-x-sensors-apps-and-androidtm-support-on-sony-xa2-variants/

There is a list but it's not well maintained. Search te forum.

I use Osmand+ on XA2 without any trouble except for mobile connection (only works with wifi). Since it's offline, I don't mind. Firefox works well, also with data.

Thanks so far. As I use Osmand always offline it's ok. What's about Komoot. In rare cases I had already used Komoot online.

I didn't know about komoot, but I'm gonna try. It looks great !

however Osmand+ is quite power hungry compared to native puremaps

Sadly bike routing on puremaps is far less useable then Osmand in combination with Brouter.

Brouter exports GPX files which you can read with OsMand or with Puremaps, where ist the advantage of Osmand now? (ok it can reroute if you lost your way, maybe)

Osmand+ works well except voice navigation.

Did you mean TTS voice navigation or the recorded announcements?

seehas ( 2019-02-28 21:09:21 +0300 )edit

TTS voice navigation. Recorded announcements weren't tested by me.
