Hello gentlemen, I am also a long time (and hence, satisfied) user of Osmand, since back in 2011. Speed is (and has always been) an issue (you can check old discussion as well) - I believe there full consensus on this. I had never thought it is a matter of computational power: any 100$ mobile phone has more computational power than a garmin satnav, which has indeed always been faster. So the bottleneck must be the algorithm, its implementation, or its parameters. In any case, as a matter of fact, the speed issue has never been tackled properly -if it had been, an improvement would have been fond. Harry above cited several offline solutions (Magic Earth for example) which are much faster. I think it is a free developers choice, in which direction they want the app to improve. I personally would have preferred more speed (or smaller app dimension, just to mention another) rather than other stuff (but this is personal taste). Please also notice that such an slow speed implies other issues: for example, Osmand does just offers one solution (THE optimal solution, whatever it means in real life, outside of the pure math world), whereas most of the "competitors" offer two-three options. Last point - since Osmand is a sold product, users have the right to hardly complain. "Implement your own solution" is a good answer only for free-of-charge app
