What’s New in MuditaOS K 1.2.0?
Navigation with Voice Guidance
You can now explore the world more freely and stay present while doing so. Offline navigation is available directly on your Mudita Kompakt, with voice guidance in 8 languages, two intuitive navigation styles (Map View and Turn-by-Turn), and three travel modes: Walking, Cycling, and Driving.
You can set your destination by search or simply tapping the map, include up to three intermediate stops, and explore routes even when offline. The map interface is designed to be clear, minimal, and distraction-free—just the way we like it.

One of the most-requested features is finally here: with version 1.2.0 you can now sideload third-party apps to your Mudita Kompakt using Mudita Center (version 3.1.0). This gives you the freedom to install additional tools that serve your needs, without bloated app stores, ads, or tracking.
