Does anyone know of the general development of #navigation software for #mobile #Linux devices like the #Librem5 ?
#PureMaps somehow runs, but it is not a great experience performance wise and the development is not super active anymore. I saw a discussion once that #OrganicMaps also tries to make a mobile Linux version, but I can't find any update there either. Are there any plans for #GnomeMaps to add navigation features?

@zwarf GNOME Maps has something like this, is that it or are you thinking of something else?

@fkinoshita I thought more of a navigation for driving in a car like the functionality OrganicMaps (Android) or PureMaps (SailfishOS or Linux) provides.

@zwarf yeah i don't think it does that

@zwarf I am happy with #PureMaps on the #Librem5 on #PostmarketOS.

@zwarf CoMaps has Flatpak version, just the GUI is suboptimal for now.

@zwarf What exactly do you mean by "not a great experience performance wise"? In my experience while not exactly silky smooth at all times Pure Maps is perfectly usable on the Librem 5.

@dos I mainly have issues with quite a big delay between my actual position and the position shown on the map. A lot of times my actual GPS position is not "used" at all and the position on the map is not updated. I don't really understand what the problem is because debugging the GPS and reading the values manually from the Librem 5 sensor gives me a correct position and a way faster GPS fix then starting Pure Maps and waiting for a GPS fix.

@zwarf Test it with "/usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i -t -1 -a 8"

If you don't upload fresh assistance data with https://source.puri.sm/-/snippets/1207 it will likely take a few minutes to get a cold fix.
