I'm not that familiar with Osmand, when using navigation by car, it seems everything was as it should be, but when I tried to use it by foot/walking, I noticed several "weird" behavior, I'm pretty sure it must be configuration, but couldn't find it in the apps, can someone please point me to the right direction?
1) I have noticed that when walking, the navigation is not pointing always up (the direction you're going, as when driving, it shifts around, most of the time pointing down, where can I configure this? I remembered seeing the configuration orientation previously, but can't remember where.
2) is there a way to configure the walking speed? Can't find it anywhere, and the default one is around 40% slower than my speed.
3) sometimes the voices prompt just disappeared, how do I get it back? Found a way to do it, not sure if it's the best way. Is it a bug?
4) sometimes the voice prompt gives you the wrong direction (map shows clearly to right and the voice said left, this happens with both directions, not sure if it's language specific or not. Is it a bug?

Hi!
1. You can change Map orientation in Menu – Settings – Profile – General settings – Map orientation. Also, you can change it by taping on Compass button, it can be hidden by default, to change it visibility go to Menu – Configure screen – Default buttons – Compass.
2. You can configure default speed in Menu – Settings – Profile – Navigation settings – Vehicle parameters – Default speed.
3 - 4. You can send to sup...@osmand.net coordinates of the start and destination points of the route so we could test it and log file from the Menu – Help – Help improve OsmAnd – Send logcat log
