I'm quite sure they don't. MapQuest Open is just plain open data (which traffic is not) and somewhat deprecated as well, it's not being developed. And OSRM is just the demo server, it's not a proper service at all.

Thanks, that was my problem too. Like nthn, I would also prefer a vector option being the default. There is no future for raster.

So I have played with WhoGo on my Jolla 1 for a while and I can definitely say that I like it. I still need to put it through some proper test though.

I have my first question. Here in the UK, postcodes are the way of providing directions. Even a car park in the middle of a forest (for example, for a popular land mark) has its own postcode. Which profile knows postcodes? "Recommended for vector tiles maps" it ain't.

I am preparing OSM Scout Server version that has changed default and more meaningful error message when lacking maps for the selected backends. Maybe then we can focus here on WhoGo Maps

As for postal codes, OSM Scout Server doesn't support it. I don't know how to implement it exactly, would have to think about it. Corresponding issue has been opened: https://github.com/rinigus/geocoder-nlp/issues/38

I am sure that some online services do support it. Which ones and how much, don't know

Thanks for the reply on postcodes. I am sure the postcodes were listed when I swiched profiles and was clearing the old files, but I do not remember having actually tried a lookup using them so cannot tell whether they worked.

This is a great find, I've never seen it before. Just did a check of 5 postcodes I know off the top of my head - they were all in the database and the lat/long were all correct.

Just wanted to echo pichlo and say postcode search to set a destination is essential for navigating in the UK, so this would be a great feature to implement if possible.

I continued testing with the Jolla 1.

Made 2 trips by car, each around 1 hour and covering 100km, mostly following the highway. Normal usage (set the destination, and follow the instruction, not constantly interacting with it). Didn't closed all opened applications, but they were not heavy.

Everything worked perfectly !

Except one thing. For the life of me, I could not get a single word out of the damn thing. The rendering was perfect, the rotations smooth, I even made a few deliberate detours to test the automatic rerouting, all worked fone. But - no voice instructions. What am I missing?

Did you install a TTS engine like Mimic (openrepos)? Follow the instructions in the description of WhoGo maps on openrepos

For me, WhoGo maps works perfectly including voice instructions. I even like the name WhoGo maps ;-)
