Is there currently any way (Android app, tweak or other) to get offline maps and voice guided navigation to Sailfish?

As I travel (=need offline map data) a lot and also use my phone as my main gps while driving (=need voice guided navigation), these are the things that are my main dealbreakers to get Jolla (and apparantly very lousy musicplayer, I like the N9 one a lot).

I have not tested it (i got a navi in my car), but others reported, this works good: https://www.sygic.com/

I had sygic on my N900 and after it repeatedly sent me down country lanes and through fords when there was a perfectly suitable A road I gave up with it.

I too am missing a decent native sat nav option. Maps it nigh-on useless and i use my N9 as sat nav instead.

I have now had my jolla for nearly 6 months and there are three dealbreakers for me that are not moving.
Microsoft exchange support policies,
Navigation
Media player
Proper cloud solution

My Jolla is a great phone but it's not a smart phone for me yet. Lots of things were announced in February/March but since then there has been nothing. Angry birds and fsecure deals were announced as coming soon on the 21st February!

Maybe a question for Jolla Together.

OK, this has probably been discussed in detail somewhere but what is not working properly in Exchange? That is something that is also on my dealbreaker list...

I have Sygic in my N900 and with updated maps worked great for me. I will have a Jolla in less than a week

For N900 it was Sygic Maps. Now it's Sygic Aura and it's totally different. I recommend it as well.

i set up an Exchange account on Jolla about 2 weeks ago, absolutely no problems until now, i'm only using it for calendar- and contact-sync, though. Email is another address, using IMAP.

Hi. You've probably already discussed this but what features do you need for media player? Perhaps there is an android version that meets your needs?

Actually, these days it is Sygic GPS Navigation. And I have to agree that it is better than the N900 product that they had (and abandoned)

It depends upon the policy you have set up. My company exchange policy requires the phone/tablet is secured with a PIN or password and that is not yet in place for Jolla. So depending on the local policy you may be fine.

Big thread in jolla together.
