* Re lock on streets: I presume you mean something like shown as a map matching service at https://mapzen.com/blog/map-matching/? Its possible to implement it, would need some time though. The router behind Mapzen and OSM Scout (Valhalla) does support map matching and we could implement it for online and offline navigation. "Just" have to expose functionality, connect it to Poor Maps, and allow users to enable/disable it.

I wonder whether you have terrible GPS signal and rerouting is triggered too frequently?
Thanks for your reply.

@1: I was mainly thinking of the deviation parameter (start rerouting after x meters deviation from route). I was using poor maps with Mapzen navigation. So basically, I also had the impression the rerouting was triggered too late.

@2: Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Sounds great!

Another question: Currently, in the navigation mode, the map is rotated according to my orientation (which is perfect), but the street names on the map etc. are not rotated. Is there also a possibility to change this?
