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 used it in a motorbike trip last year and had some trouble but not in the way you describe. I used offline maps, finding my location was a matter of seconds. It would however sometimes not register some “waypoints” and try to lead me back to a point I already passed until I restarted navigation. Annoying when you have a route with several intermediate destinations.

    I use organic maps for everyday navigation, never had such issues with that one.
