Revision history [back]

On my Jolla1, I have been using the Android app OsmAnd for 3 years now to navigate from point A to point B. Installing the very same app on my newly flashed Sailfish X device results in application crashes as soon I use start navigation.

Details: If I disable voice output in OsmAnd completely, navigation works fine, but is not very useful, since at driving I have to watch the road and not the smartphone. Like on my Jolla1, TTS (text-to-speech) voice output does not work on my Sailfish X device. You simply don't hear anything. See https://together.jolla.com/question/54254/osmand-voice-navigation-no-sound/. So I switched to prerecorded voices on my Sailfish X device, too.

Behavior on Sailfish X:

1. Open OsmAnd
2. wait for GPS fix
3. tap target
4. select "navigate to target"
5. route calculation starts and finally displays the route to drive
6. press "Go" in the lower navigation bar
7. application freezes

Expected behavior (like on Jolla1):

1. Open OsmAnd
2. wait for GPS fix
3. tap target
4. select "navigate to target"
5. route calculation starts and finally displays the route to drive
6. press "Go" in the lower navigation bar
7. the voice is telling me "distance and time of the tour" and navigation starts with first instruction

Other information:

It makes no difference whether I use German or English prerecorded voices.

Maybe I could get TTS working as described in this Answer: https://together.jolla.com/question/19666/text-to-speech-tts-for-android-apps-in-alien-dalvik/ But there should definitely be a more user friendly way for people, which do not want to live edit sqlite databases on their smartphones.
