This looks like a reskin of something else I tried. It doesn’t have turn by turn. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 5 months ago* (2 children) Are you sure you are using the app that i linked to? Because you can clearly see in the screenshots on the app store that it has turn by turn instructions. Comaps is a fork of organic maps but neither has ads and they are basically identical feature wise. Turn by turn only works when you have location turned on of course. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) Okay don’t turns out I had to download the maps first and then it kinda works. Voice selection isn’t working right but will likely be fixed eventually. I just need to get used to it. Thanks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 5 months ago* Ah yeah i didnt think of that, my bad i guess thats not obvious coming from normal map apps. Yes its intended to be completely offline capable for privacy and so you can go hiking in the middle of nowhere. permalink fedilink source parent
