I tried using Pure Maps for navigation today and it worked for the most part. It was able to keep track of my location and provide audio instruction when I needed to make a turn, though the instructions would often come very late and the only reason I didn’t miss those turns is because I was using OsmAnd on my Android phone as a backup, which announced the turns quite a bit earlier. Another issue that I noticed was that the screen kept turning off; there’s probably a way to keep it on while using the app but I just haven’t looked through its settings yet. Lastly, I don’t know if Pure Maps was responsible for this but I ate through my data plan and now I’m limited to 128 kbps; I don’t think this affected the navigation capabilities but I’d have to try this some more.
