Hi Martin. When I started my test drive, I enabled both app's before setting off. modRana 1st, programmed to give me navigation to my destination, then RR turned on and left in background. ModRana spoke initial directions OK, but after RR turned on, the position didn't update as I drove (I hit reroute a few times, but no joy). About 1.5km into drive, I played around a bit at traffic lights, pulling RR to foreground then back to background, and navigating a few modRana menus. Not sure what I did, but after that, modRana had updated my position to near(ish) to where I'd just been, but again stopped updating thereafter.

Once I'd passed the speedcam which was the point of my test (FYI, RR didn't alert me, but that may well be down to the quality/accuracy of the speedcam POI database that I pulled off t'internet to test, still need to check that ..) I closed down modRana.

This is all from memory. Next time I'm in the car I'll repeat to see if it's consistent or (hopefully) just a one-off.

great news that POI proximity is already in your to-do list! I remain flabbergasted at how you find time to be so communicative on this thread amidst all the dev effort. Much appreciated, as always
