Auto follow dots should be an option on the main app as well, it was great barring the occasional odd dot not following the route. Didn't freeze up on me either. The only issue I had was that it wasn't as smooth transitioning from one map section to the next as the VR app is. It hesitates and then continues. I even casted it to my TV! Would love an iOS and iPadOS option.
Our iOS plugin is partially developed, glad to hear you'd like that. The smoothness may be improved in next Explorer build.
The reason we don't offer auto-following is it would make you more quesy in VR. To keep your inner ear and eyes in sync, it's important to turn your head when you go around turns. We require that in addition to a steering input so you also have the freedom to look around without turning.
If you prefer the 2D version but still want to use your headset, you an "sideload" this APK to your Go or Quest. Running it appears then as on your phone but on a large virtual screen, where you use your hand controller as touch control. Thanks to Auld for discovering this!
