Thanks for this detailed reply. Do you use voice?

No I don't, because on a motorbike I can't hear it distinctly. However it is setup and it uses the language defined in Settings > System > Languages > Text-to-speech output. It think I tried using RHVoice, Espeak and Google Text-to-speech with Network access disabled but not 100% sure. On my side on OSMAnd I have it on the side menu under Navigation > Settings > Sound > Language. There you can select the language and turn it on.

By the way on very long distances you may have problems like the navigation never loading. In this case you can try to add a subsequent destination in the middle and it generally works for me. If it doesn't in the past I have used the other implementation of the rendering engine (opengl for 3d rendering disabled).

Thanks for the tips. I use the Organic android APK and it says voice is disabled.

Oops no sorry in my other message I said the FDroid version worked for me but it was actually the web version. Try this one. Since I use OSMAnd and I didn't search thoroughly for Organic Map I am not sure what they mean by web version but maybe they use react native for this one and Java for the other.

I just tried Organic Map, I tried the FDroid version. So it said also voice disabled to me too, I didn't understand why. So I restarted the phone, now it works. I tried with English only though.

Try to restart your phone if you didn't and you already installed a tts software.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have had it loaded for over a year on my phone, though, and have installed updates. I'm not optimistic.

Sorry if it doesn't work for you. Try to go in a Bitcoin meetup they may be able to help you directly. Also where I have been there were meetups for Openstreetmap you could try there too to ask.

I tried an updated version through @franzap's Zapstore. That one also says unavailable. I'll keep trying.

Just to make sure again, did you try the web version of the app? (Which worked for me, I checked again before replying)

I downloaded it through Neo Store but I think the repository is shared with FDroid.

No. I'll try it.
