Mudita Kompakt - Navigation

Hi, I’ve seen that the Kompakt will have a Maps app, however I’m not clear if it actually has a navigate function. Will the maps just show your current location, or does it have turn-by-turn navigation functionality?
Thanks for clarification

It has turn by turn navigation, the maps can be downloaded so they won’t use any data which is awesome, but from my understanding it won’t give you the ability to get live traffic updates etc to avoid traffic

Ah okay awesome. Has there been any mention of whether it can provide instructions for traveling by public transit?

Hi, guys - sorry for the delayed response!

Big thanks to @minimalist4life for answering the first question. The Kompakt offers turn-by-turn navigation but won’t provide live traffic updates.

As for public transit navigation, unfortunately, that functionality won’t be available.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

@hurron I get your point, I use these kinds of apps myself and appreciate their importance, especially for commuting.

However, as Mudita, we won’t be providing tutorials on bypassing the OS we’ve designed. That said, technically advanced users have the option to sideload APKs to add extra functionality, but they do so at their own risk, as this may impact the warranty.

Yeah I am glad you guys are not showing how to do this because it stays true to your philosophy, ultimately putting the choice in the consumers hand and even so I like the friction of having to add extra apps. The more I think of it I will probably only side load spotify because I do like listening to podcasts but not a deal breaker for me I may just not sideload anything, I do love the phone as is,
