Sorry, got somewhat distracted with the recent events and forgot to reply last night.

Driven by smartwatches, but perfectly usable in hands-free scenario as well, I was thinking to add dbus service to Pure Maps. Something that would allow you to get state of navigation and, as you suggest, start one. While not as simple as firing with cmdline, it would allow you to handle cases where route was not calculated due to the wrong router, for example. In principle, we could make dbus api to switch the router as well. I think in longer term, that would be better solution.
