I've now been using this actively for cycling through London for a couple of weeks. Here's what I've accumulated:

1. Voice directions are getting their lefts and rights confused. It appears to be saying Left when turning towards the south, and Right when turning towards the North. I have yet to confirm this pattern.
2. Distance to next instruction is overwritten by the arrow in all modes except Big Arrow. This seems to be the case in landscape and portrate modes.
3. Changing HUD mode in settings does not change the mode. I need to exit the application and restart.
4. Vector maps? I have had several occasions when I've just lost the map, because I went off route and outside of the downloaded map, and it takes a long time to download the new tiles. I know there's already an issue about this, but it needs mentioning.
5. Speed and compass: More of a nice to have. I still use Androad over BikeHub, because it reroutes and routes well over cycle tracks, but current speed would be great, and the compass would help with orientation when I'm forced to go off route.
6. ETA and distance travelled don't work - they just show zero.

If you need more information about my operating environment, please don't hesitate to contact me.
