@mosen - geocoder is "Search" - sorry for using geo-lingo. So, in search, just select Photon . I actually made a video for desktop users, its 1:50 from the beginning of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56aPU6NjGOk . [small advantage of having it running on desktop is the ability to make such videos].

Translations are updated with the new releases, I guess it wasn't pulled in time for 1.8.0.

2b-c-d: wouldn't be trivial, but we have an issue filed for it.

Awaiting GPS fix is probably the most adequate (added note at https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps/issues/13). Note that some of us use Pure Maps for trip planning as well. In this case, you may actually want to keep the old zoom/location and have a chance to press on POI and select Drive.
