Navigation #3

The application needs to be aware of desired path, current location and from that derive which turn to take and when.

This would be best handled by an existing library. TODO: research.

http://osmand.net/ this looks like one option, and open street map might be different/easier than dealing with google? not sure. It seems to cost money though, and it might be that their API doesn't support things like navigation... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API

another alternative to google, seems to have a free version that sounds like it fits what I need: https://developer.here.com/native-apis
