I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it's not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven't found?

Edit: nevermind, my phone is just on the fritz. Location doesn't work at all anymore :/

Nope. But it can be demanding when using online maps. Try to have your most used area downloaded in your phone.
