Good idea! The voice prompts in english at the moment, while text on display is the correct german translation.

I used PM 1.20.0 (in conjunction with OSMSS 1.13.1-1.107.1.jolla, because still on Oulanka) extensively within the last days. While the smooth transitions are somekind of irritating at first sight (hm, map doesn't move? - well, it does!) but nice at higher speeds, I had some glitches within cities (means: speed between 20 and 50 km/h, possible street canyons with weaker GPS-signal,...):

There was a higher amount of situations, where the position marker wasn't at the correct place, than with the previous version. Sometimes even the map wasn't centered correctly in time, leaving the position marker out of sight (no offense, just reporting)

In my opinion the smoother transitions therefore are really nice at higher speeds (looks some kind of classy), but seem to be tricky at lower speeds.

Maybe this is helpful...
