@Kasper Welcome back to the Mudita Forum 
We did have an animation of it on our sneak-peek website, so I’ll just post it here.

Thanks, glad you remember me!
Does it use some well known android app behind the scenes? Does it give audio instructions?
I ordererd the Kompact, really curious.
I do hope you won’t make it too easy to install third party apps, because I really don’t have the self control, and I enjoy life better when I can not read the latest news about the world deep in the evening/night when someone sends me a message about the latest news story…

@Kasper Mudita Kompakt uses GeoFabrik & OpenStreetMap
There is voice navigation, but you can mute it if you don’t want listen to a voice telling you where to go.
You can check out videos by @Jose_Briones where he does showcase the map feature & you can see what it looks like.

@urszula: Does the Map app have points-of-interest (POI) data, so that we can search for such-and-such store or shop and then navigate to it (instead of entering the store or shop’s physical address)?
Addendum: Given what you wrote here…
…and given that OpenStreetMap can have points-of-interest data, does this therefore imply that the Kompakt Map app has POI data?

@kirkmahoneyphd Would definitely like to know this as well!

that would be cool to know. I guess this depends on OpenStreetmap?

Based on Jose Briones’ video (see his Mudita Kompakt sideloading livestream where he compares a sideloaded app to the native one) it does show points of interest on the map.

@kirkmahoneyphd It shows most
places. But not everything. Newer places, that maybe just opened are not there.
If you click on the place, it does give you the address, but that’s it. It’s not like GoogleMaps where you have hours of operation & a contact phone number etc.

My question was about being able to search by typing in the name of a point of interest – which is what I can do with my Sunbeam Wireless F1 Orchid (from which I am switching to the Mudita Kompakt).
What you are showing is – ALSO?-- the ability to tap on a POI on the display to get its address. Very nice!
Three features of the Kompakt Map app’s POI search-results interface stand out to me:
- Easy-to-understand icons adjacent to the search results
- The type of POI (e.g., Cafe or Interior decoration store)
- The current distance from the POI (e.g., 18 meters or 3.76 kilometers)
Well done, Mudita!

Wait. You were only 18 meters from Mood Cafe at 3:39 in the afternoon when you captured that picture of POI search results?

I suspect not, given that POI data in apps such as this and Magic Earth DO NOT include this information. I suspect that Google Maps is able to present this information only because Google retrieves it separately from the POI data, whereas Kompakt is a Google-apps-free cellphone.

Awesome. is the app in house? and you can download OSM updates for areas?
I assume it’s using OSM data for navigation? if so, ill need to get to cleaning up the data in my local area so it works better 
(it would be great to have a OSM group of volunteers to update OSM to improve the maps app in turn, apps relying on OSM live and die on the reliability of the OSM data)

@eden Yup, glad you noticed - we use OSM for maps. No Google Maps SDK, no tracking.
