I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it’s not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven’t found?
Edit: nevermind, my phone is just on the fritz. Location doesn’t work at all anymore :/
I have Osmand+ and it works fine. One very easy way to improve the performance is to download the maps you need ahead of time.
Start by downloading your metro area and I can guarantee that positioning and navigation will be instantaneous. Unless your phone is to blame. FYI I am using a Google Nexus 7a. Very happy with Osmand+.
