1. The spoken navigation is working but please include the optilon to drop the street names. I am not sure about other languages but English has too many nuances to make the speech accurate. Also, the map contains abbreviations like rd for road and esspeak speaks our "rd" Simply turn left in xxx or take 2nd turning at roundabout would be great.

2. The positioning is quite inaccurate. Not sure if this is the code, gps or map but I am often up to 50 metres away from the indicated point.

3. When using the navigation in portrait mode, the text box at the bottom (avg speed, mins to go etc.) doesn,t fit the wcreen.

4. I couldn't get the auto recalculate route to work. i intentionaly went a different route but the highlighted track never altered. Edit: now found the options, I will try again and report back.

5. Not sure how offline mode works

Things I'd love to see;

1. The option to always have the direction of travel upwards so left and right turns are simple to comprehend.

2. Offline maps and routing

3. Optional uise of recorded voice rather than espeak

4. Bigger/simpler UI buttons and info bar at bottom (look at tomtom, sygic etc)

Thats all for now! These comments are not meant to be criticisms. your app is excellent and your speed of development is very very impressive, I am just trying to make the best better!
