You're probably aware of it, but for instance in the Moscow case, I'd not want the instructions in Russian, and might prefer them in English, but the streetnames are in Russian, so should be pronounced in Russian...

Well, at least that's what I assumed it was getting stuck on, i.e. somehow deciphering the Russian names...

some routing, no crashes so far + all the Cyrillic letters were displayed without problems, just the espeak Russian voice output could be better
Great, looking forward to this.

The only problem was espeak reading Czech place names with english pronunciation, which is often quite funny But it worked even before without problems, most probably because our alphabet is basically just ASCII + čřžýáíéůú.
Hahah :O) oh no, you forgot some of the best ones, like ň, ť and ď! :O)
