That TTS has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you do not have TTS or recorded voice configured, then it will ask that indeed, but that is not what the op meant.
The op is completely right that: 1) doesn't function if you do not have a GPS location, You can't start the navigation. In other applications you just start and wait for the program to get its location and then do the route calculation. 2) is confusing detail. As a driver I can't estimate whether it is 227 or 223 meters, and I don't care either. Secondly: Due to inaccuracies in both GPS/Glonass and street mapping, this 227 meters might be right on the map, but might be 235 meters in practice. @Matija: Please create 2 issues for this: https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues/ This is a "user helps user" mailgroup. The devs look at the issues.
