Text to speech? To my knowledge, there's no such thing in the Sailfish platform. I once tried espeak, which someone had packaged and distributed at OpenRepos. On about the fifth call, it crashed the whole OS, so it didn't seem ready for use. It would be fairly easy for me to add TTS calls to navigation, finding a working TTS library/program is the difficult part.

I don't currently need donations. I'm all right and we're currently on free of charge plans with all service providers due to the low user count.

Apparently Qt 5.6 is going to be in the next update. That will probably result in Poor Maps being allowed at the Jolla store, which could bump the user count maybe tenfold and thus bring costs with the service providers. I'd prefer to cover the service costs by simply charging for the app, but while Jolla still doesn't have payment systems in place, I'll likely ask for donations.
